But Honor Eastly knows it’s not that simple. She’s been there and back, and has the receipts to prove it — years of phone recordings and diary entries from the inside. From this mountain of source material, a podcast was born/emerged! That podcast: <a href="https://www.thirdcoastfestival.org/explore/detail/Btw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>No Feeling Is Final</em></a><em>.</em></p><br><p>In this session from the 2019 Third Coast Conference, Honor and executive producer Joel Werner broke down how they took Honor’s life and turned it into a super-creative & sound-rich six-part series. They shared audio diary tape, and discussed where/when to use it (and when/how to reconstruct scenes). They talked about the power of a first person perspective, negotiating between a compelling narrative and life’s utter messiness, trust, shared taste, and how a sense of humor can shine a light in the darkest places.</p><br><p>Sign up for <a href="http://bit.ly/TCProducerNewsSignUp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Producer News</a> to stay up to date on the latest from Third Coast.</p><br><p>The 2019 Third Coast Pocket Conference season was co-produced by Neroli Price and Isabel Vázquez.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
