Die, Mediocrity, Die! (2006)

Do your own radio scripts ever bore you? Or frustrate, confuse, and deflate you?Nancy Updike, who has written stories ranging in length from 50 seconds to 59 minutes, presents easy approaches to making your writing sharper, more memorable, and more engaged with the tape. Also, learn how to make drab tape beautiful through writing, and along the way, enjoy some schadenfreude: instructive stories of mistakes and failure are shared for the benefit of all.Recorded at the 2006 Third Coast Conference.
