If you listen to All Things Considered often enough, you’ll notice that many of the stories and conversations we share with you work out to around three minutes long.
NPR’s Weekend All Things Considered has turned that scenario on its head, through its Three Minute Fiction contest.
Guy Raz is host of Weekend All Things Considered and the man behind the project. He talks with All Things Considered host Brady Carlson about the seven previous rounds of Three Minute Fiction, and the eighth round which begins this weekend.
Web extra audio: Guy Raz talks about trying to write his own stories for Three Minute Fiction.
