Welcomed By Design and Unwell Part 1

Published: May 24, 2023, 8 a.m.

For this week's midseason break, we're sharing an episode from the delightful podcast Welcomed By Design, a show produced by students and faculty at the University of Pittsburgh! We'll have the second part of this conversation later in our break!\n======\nOn this episode of Welcomed by Design, we listen back to Fall 2022\u2019s Queer Horror Week, coordinated by Pitt\u2019s Horror Studies Working Group. Members of our team got to panel with many cool creatives, including the wonderful, BBC award-winning team of Unwell, to talk about accessibility and identity in the world of audio dramas! With a topic like that, there\u2019s obviously going to be far too much good conversation to have a mere hour of footage. So we\u2019re releasing a two-part special (which, given its patchwork of event audio clips, a l\xe1 Frankenstein\u2019s monster, is also thematically spooky in structure). In this part 1, we discuss accessible and inclusive production practices, on the \u201creal life\u201d side of things. We talked about everything from fun/snarky transcript comments to balancing the nature of scaring in horror with care in content warnings.\nBe sure to check out part 2 for even more conversation, this time on inclusive fictional practices.\nOpen episode transcript (which we\u2019ve annotated this episode, in honor of Unwell!)
