Humble Pie, the literary arts journal of the Writing and Literature Program, aims to feature the most innovative poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and visual art of Bay Area undergraduates. Students working on the journal will gain hands-on experience in the selection of written and visual submissions, the planning and layout of text in book format, and the conversation that the editorial process requires. Students will also host the Hearsay reading series, a monthly event that brings undergraduate writers and local authors together for an evening. These experiences give students a diverse set of skills useful for publishing and connecting with others involved in the literary arts.In this course, students will study, explore, solicit, record, and produce audio content of all kinds for CCA’s Writing and Literature literary magazine Humble Pie as a celebration of the human voice. From podcasts to spoken word, experimental music to interviews and conversations, non-fiction audio essays to radio plays–Humble Pie Radio will seek out a diverse variety of voices, experiences, and languages, some inside the classroom, some outside. Students will learn the basics of writing content for audio, digital recording, editing, and arrangement, as well as how to manipulate these processes for artistic effect. Part experimental audio lab, part writing workshop, some class projects will be short poetic experiments, while others will develop narrative over several weeks. Humble Pie Radio is particularly interested in highlighting underrepresented stories and voices in a multiplicity of languages, dialects, and speech patterns. Experimentation will be encouraged. While proficiency with digital audio software (Adobe Audition, ProTools, Logic, RX, Ableton Live, etc.) is a plus, no experience is required.
