Making Revisionist History
In this recorded webinar Revisionist History producers Lee Mengistu and Eloise Lynton explain how their team activates their inner sleuth and skeptic throughout the editorial process, with advice applicable to a range of budgets.
Lee and Eloise walk through their process, from the early stages of brainstorming and research through the final phases of production. They discuss how archival tape, voice actors, scoring and sound design can be used to enhance the storyline in a narrative podcast, and how they produced an entire season over Zoom. The recording finishes with an extended audience Q&A.
