A big thing I think I learned from Fraser's in depth discussion on formulating a radio story/podcast is how important they are. She talks for a short while about the meaning of hearing another human being tell a story and how much impact writing can have when it's spoken as opposed to read.

Another thing I gleaned from Fraser's description was the importance of being concise. Overly descriptive or off topic radio stories will tend to bore a listener and make your point less impressionable. Choose your words carefully and be sure to stick to your topic.

She also places importance on formulating interviews in a way that allows the person being interviewed to formulate their own anecdote. You're there to listen and accentuate the story. Make it more focused and concise.

Fraser accentuates the importance of ethics. Sharing your own story with someone to make them feel more comfortable sharing their own. Staying true to the topic discussed in an interview. And being honest with the person when interviewing.
