Each year, the producers select a number of recent acclaimed documentaries produced by various international public radio networks and broadcasts one per week.

The show's producers then reviewed the booth recordings and selected the "compelling" segments for the weekly show.

The role had been unfilled for months, and producers selected Long who most closely matched the credentials required.

The producers selected him for one of the four leading roles after auditioning over 5,000 people.

For example, rather than a replicated gunshot a producer might select a real gunshot from a certain type of gun, shot under very specific conditions.

If the writer is not specific about which songs should be used, the producers and director will select the music in post-production.

After auditions in other cities around the country, the show's producers will select the contestants this fall.

Each season the producers would select four or five scenic locations around the world and create stories that took advantage of the local attractions.

The remaining 200 send in video auditions, from which the producers select the contestant for the week.

The producers then select the person with the most memorable question to say, "We'll be right back with Jerry's final thought."
