Yes everyone makes an audio documentary at CDS but for me, learning the craft was secondary to experiencing the best of radio for a wonderful week.
The CDS staff and nationally celebrated producers curated a week of classics radio productions for our listenings. For the first time in my life, radio wasn't a solitary experience. It was a celebration with fellow radio-philes and the leaders of the field.
Sure, I made my first and second documentaries at CDS and they were a thrill. However, I will always consider myself a listener, instead of a producer of radio and CDS was (and will be again in the future) my mecca for experiencing great radio.
