Welcomed by Design and Unwell, part 2

Published: June 21, 2023, 8 a.m.

We're back with the second episode of Welcomed by Design's interview with the Unwell team at the University of Pittsburgh! We hope you enjoy, and we're looking forward to bringing back more of Unwell Season Five in two weeks.\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 thematically spooky in structure).\nIn this part 2, we discuss inclusive world-building, from challenging what gets capital-O Othered and what is normalized, to some of the team\u2019s favorite aspects of the world they\u2019ve created.\nBe sure to check out part 1 for even more conversation, which focuses on real-life accessibility and inclusion in their production.\nOpen episode transcript (which we\u2019ve annotated this episode, in honor of Unwell!)\n(An unembedded link to the resource library, which includes transcripts, will be at the bottom of this description for anyone needing to copy and paste the link in a web browser.)\nGo to our resource library (for terms and recommended readings)\nCheck out Unwell, a fictional Midwestern Gothic Mystery podcast, about conspiracies, ghosts, and unusual families of blood and choice\u2026\nHost and producer: Lynn Priestley Executive producer: Dr. Jessica FitzPatrick Sound designer: Chloe Dahan Producer: Emily Kuntz Transcriber: Shivangi \u201cTeddy\u201d Tiwari\nSound credits:\nTurning to You\u201d from Landmans Duet, by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue), \u201cValantis\u201d from Cauldron, by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue), Some sound effects were sourced from Freesound.org., Julesv4 - Door Creaking, Nettimato - Chain, Keweldog - Crunching Scraping, Mincedbeats - Gel Squelches, TRP - Foot Squish Wet Mud Puddle Stratford, Garzul - Analog Lazer fx, Florianreichelt - Soft Wind, The remaining sound clips used (except for the door opening sound clip), outside of spoken audio, were free sound effects from https://www.fesliyanstudios.com\nIf you have questions, guest suggestions, or comments about the accessibility of this podcast, please don\u2019t hesitate to email us at welcomedbydesign@gmail.com.\nUnembedded link to above-mentioned resource library: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1unKUUqD_SH2Qi0C94s2j7WEuXdtP0k0e?usp=sharing\nLearn more about your ad choices.
