Story Time at Wieden+Kennedy

Wieden + Kennedy Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Portland based advertising agency, is “an arts and culture digital content delivery platform” whose goal “is to renegotiate the relationship between art, media, advertising and the consumer.”  As part of this new project they have launched Story Time, which is a show featuring “recorded readings of short stories by published young authors set to soundscapes.”  The show is remarkably well produced and draws you in through the subtle use of instrumental tones and voice effects.

The shows first episode featured Trinie Dalton reading her delightful story Froghole ’08, and the most recent episode has Kevin Sampsell reading from his short story Gloves.  Listening time is about six minutes per episode, and after you ‘re finished with these I highly recommend you check out everything else WKE has going on as well.
