Audio Storytelling Intensive

The Audio Storytelling Intensive is a partnership between the Invisible Institute and the University of Chicago’s Digital Storytelling Initiative, which aims to make digital media resources more accessible to South Siders through an array of programming at the Logan Center for the Arts.

Participants are adults from the South and West Sides of Chicago, with any experience level in audio and/or podcasting. The 2025 workshops were co-facilitated by the Invisible Institute’s Erisa Apantaku and Yohance Lacour, along with special appearances by Sarah Geis and Bill Healy. The 2023 workshops were co-facilitated by Erisa and Sarah, with special guests Yohance and Bill. This program is overseen by Elizabeth Myles, Digital Storytelling Initiative Program Manager. Each workshop series concluded with a listening celebration for family and friends.
