Narratives
Narratives are short radio scripts where one individual conveys the important information. Many of our older scripts were written in this format. These scripts still contain relevant and useful information.
Use narratives to learn more about the topic, to prepare radio spots, interview questions, intros and extros. You could also read the information aloud on air, but it would be more useful if used as part of an interview with someone on the topic.
