In our continuing multimedia month on Transom, we're featuring a new story-driven slide show. These are pieces that work as radio, but expand when images are added. Joining Final Sale from Samantha Broun and Neal Menschel is Not Guilty an audio-slide-show made by photographer Vance Jacobs and radio producer Evan Roberts. It tells the story of Rick Walker, falsely accused of murder and held in maximum security prison for 12 years. The story covers a six month period of Walker's life as a free man. The blend of images and sound is simple and delicate, an invitation to listen and see.
There is something very real and engaging about his story about staring into the fridge. Especially after we just heard him load the fridge into the house. The ordinary moments of life make very good stories when told so well like this. I love this piece. I think it would work just as well without the slides.
The music "How it Ends" by Devotchka is a perfect choice; even the title of it has some connection. Is that why you picked it? Also why didn't you credit them for the music in the end titles?
