Re-Imagined Radio produces, distributes, curates, and preserves stories for the radio medium. Begun in 2013 and led since by John F. Barber, faculty with the Department of Digital Technology & Culture at Washington State University Vancouver. Explores sound-based storytelling as documentaries, dramas, experiments, and tributes through radio broadcasts, podcasts, streaming, an archival website, and social media platforms. Stories combine dialogue, music, and sound effects. All focused on listening experiences. Nothing to see. Everything to hear.
