Bianca Giaever is the host of Constellation Prize and a producer at The Daily."My favorite radio stories are ones that were passion projects to begin with, that would be un-pitchable from the start because the idea sounds so mundane. .... Boy talks about anxiety as I feel anxiety would have been the logline for the Scared is scared. Holy Cow Lisa would've be like I want to make a movie about my heartbreak, like every other fucking person on planet earth? ... Terrible pitch! But the person I was talking to happened to be a great talker, an amazing character. ... So I've never really been afraid of the un-pitchable story. And it's actually the type of story that intrigues me the most."If you like the show, and want to keep tape alive, please support us at patreon.com/taperadio.

Bianca Giaever ’12.5

Bianca Giaever is a radio producer, filmmaker and our youngest guest to-date. You may have heard her on RadioLab or This American Life or seen her short films on NPR, New York Times or featured as Vimeo Staff Picks. She recently won a Webby for "Videos 4 U" a new series she’s heading for This American Life. In this episode, Bianca talks about her inherited curiosity and inclination to talk to strangers as well as how her personal life, questions and struggles influence the themes of her work. We talk about the paralyzing effect of your first successful project, the fogginess of the sophomore slump and how to be patient instead of forcing an idea. She's a delight and full of contagious energy that is sure to make you want to throw yourself out there and make work.

I guess what’s served me best is to just share things about myself and that’s always led to great conversations that have been genuinely helpful to me. It’s created deep relationships between me and the person I’m interviewing. It’s a great lesson that when you share something about yourself people are usually grateful and willing to share something back.”    — Bianca GiaeverCLIPS FEATURED IN SHOW:Holy Cow LisaThe Scared Is ScaredWake Up Now (TAL)Dear Hector (RADIOLAB)Horrible Day  (Sonic ID)I Love You: Video Series for TALFor Sale: by Jay AllisonA Milkshake Experiment (NPR)CrushDinner With StrangersWar InVoice CREDITSPRODUCED by Elaine Sheldon and Sarah GinsburgSOUND DESIGN by Billy Wirasnik HELP US BRING YOU SEASON 2: MUSIC FEATURED IN SHOW:Our featured MusicMaker this week is Lira Mondal of Boston-based band, Mini Dresses.
