UPPER OHIO VALLEY FESTIVAL OF BOOKS: Local and True: Creating a Podcast Workshop

October 27, 2018
3:00pm - 3:00pm

UPPER OHIO VALLEY FESTIVAL OF BOOKS PRESENTS:

Local and True: Podcast Workshop

New York Times bestselling author Geoff Fuller, acclaimed researcher S. James McLaughlin, and award-winning journalist J. Kendall Perkinson will conduct Local and True, a workshop about choosing, investigating, and telling local stories (podcasts) important to you and your audience. One emphasis will be on finding and evaluating sources of information. Attendees are encouraged to pitch their own ideas for local stories.

Also, don't miss: Earlier that same day at 1 PM, Fuller, McLaughlin, and Perkinson will host a panel discussion of the 1970 decapitation-murders of WVU freshmen Mared Malarik and Karen Ferrell, and the creation of the eight-episode podcast and true crime book about the case. The three will also discuss audience reception of the podcast and its effect on the ongoing investigation of the murders.
