A five-minute episode with room to breathe A running order allocates time; it does not prove a reading lasts exactly that long. This original exercise proposes a piece about checking a source. Record and time your own version before publishing; no real voice was measured for this example. 1. Write one question that five minutes can answer. Separate speech, permitted quotations, silence and licensed music; do not allocate the same second to two different blocks. 2. Treat the running order below as an editorial limit. Draft the opening and conclusion first, then include only the necessary facts and the source link in the transcript. 3. Rehearse with the real equipment. Time each block from the recording rather than a words-per-minute estimate. If it overruns, cut a secondary idea before speeding up the entire reading. 4. Correct the transcript against the final audio, identifying speakers and meaningful sounds. Deliver audio, a script with actual timings, the transcript and a rights record. Mark every claim that remains unverified. 0:00–0:20 · opening: “A screenshot can look like a source. Today we will check what is missing.” Question: can another person locate the original document? 0:20–1:20 · situation: Describe a fictional screenshot without a title or date. Do not invent an institution or present it as a real incident. 1:20–3:20 · procedure: Find the publisher; open the original; compare date, title and passage; record what remains unchecked. Leave a short pause between actions. 3:20–4:30 · example and limit: Contrast “I saw it in an image” with “I opened this document and located this passage”. A located source can still have limitations. 4:30–5:00 · close: “Keep the link and passage, not just the screenshot.” Repeat the question and offer the accessible text with sources. Timing check: 20 + 60 + 120 + 70 + 30 = 300 seconds. Include pauses inside those blocks. Actual durations: __ / __ / __ / __ / __. 0:00–0:20 · opening: ____________________ 0:20–1:20 · situation: ____________________ 1:20–3:20 · procedure: ____________________ 3:20–4:30 · example and limit: ____________________ 4:30–5:00 · close: ____________________ Timing check: ____________________ Do not add filler music to hide an incomplete script. Five minutes is a production proposal, not an accredited duration or an enrolment offer from the historical catalogue. W3C WAI — audio transcripts — https://www.w3.org/WAI/media/av/transcripts/
