It's not easy to 'feed the beast' AND produce 'radiophonically.' Thought I'd make an episode thanking reporters at NPR for their creative work. Ari Shapiro Andrea Shea Barbara Moran Andrew Limbong Avery Keatley Daniel Estrin PRX Transom.org transom.org/2024/thanks-np…

Old pal Jesse Hardman interviewed me about analog vs. digital audio production. Fun conversation. Made me miss razor blades.

Stuart and I had the honor of writing a manifesto for Transom.org about why we founded IMI. It ends with our vision for a media ecosystem that supports independent creators (with diagrams)... but it's mostly a personal look at the journey that got us here.

Why would two young philanthropists & scientists want to fund independent media? Elaine & Stuart Sevier are committing to a new media model and their manifesto has us thinking about where the spirit of our profession might go.

You'll never hear an 'um' the same way. Talia Augustidis and I dive deep into the meaning of 'ums' - and lies. Talia is artful, philosophical, funny, and a damn good radio producer. Short Cuts BBC Radio 4 Falling Tree Radio Transom.org PRX transom.org/2024/the-um-a-…

When I was starting out in audio I tasked myself with listening to at least one episode of Sound School a day, so it's a lovely full circle moment for me to be featured on the podcast!

Rob Rosenthal and I chatted about my piece 'What's in an Um?' which I made for Short Cuts.

'Ums.' Gotta cut them out, right? Well, Talia Augustidis says not so fast in this PRX Sound School Podcast backstory to her BBC Radio 4 Short Cuts piece about what those 'ums' really mean between her and her partner.

I wrote for Transom about the making of my Radio 4 feature “Dead Ends”.

Featuring the pitfalls of searching for stories, unknowing collaborations, and the benefits of rejections.

Storytelling can inspire and transform the listener. Less often do we explore the meaning for the teller. In this perceptive examination of her journey making 'Dead Ends,' Talia Augustidis offers important insights into first-person storytelling.
