ESC Jacob Smith ESC is a work of experimental audio-based scholarship combining sound studies, radio history, and environmental criticism. This unique project is a fully open access, fully digital suite of audiographic essays, presented as a ten-part podcast series, combining spoken commentary, clips from classic radio dramas, excerpts from films and television shows, news reports, and the work of contemporary sound artists.

These dramas are not 'perfect' lessons but raise questions about different strategies which teachers can use to enhance their pupils’ learning.
