Bigger Projects
Rad or Sad Podcast
Since June of 2019 (excluding a several month hiatus while we were in Frace), my partner Lexi and I have been making Rad or Sad Podcast. It's a real simple concept: each week we pick a topic ranging from life, pop culture, weird american monuments, or whatever else we can think of, and say definitively what within that topic is rad and what is sad.
The show was a finalist for Best Podcast at the 2020 Intercollegiate Broadcast System Conference. You can find full epsiodes through our website, but if you want just a quick taste of some production elements, here are the (R)Ads. These (R)Ads are advertisments our "sponsors" have us put on our episodes. We're pretty small right now and actual sponsorships aren't in the works yet, so these are performed by Lexi and I, written and edited by me. Vertical Divider

Asbestos Falls Summer Serial
Over Summer 2018, my friend James Copeland and I wrote and produced a radio crime dramedy called "Asbestos Falls" for the show Sterling on Sunday. The show was broadcast weekly by Westwood One on stations like WLS Chicago, KMOX St. Louis, WPHT Philadelphia, KDKA Pittsburgh, WMAL Washington D.C., KXNT Las Vegas, KARN Little Rock, and more.
"Asbestos Falls" is about a definitely normal, definitely not-strange small town in Middle America which finds itself beleaguered by the supernatural. If it sounds similar to "Welcome to Night Vale," it is, though neither James nor I have ever listened to it. Convergent evolution at work, kids. This show won Best Podcast at the 2019 Intercollegiate Broadcast System Conference. It was produced in 12 installements, which you can listen to in its entirety here. |
Boston, Hip-Hop, and its Home: The Story of Lecco's Lemma
In the Spring of 2019, I made an audio documentary for a hip-hop literature class taught by Professor Cameron Leader-Picone. The documentary dives into "Lecco's Lemma," a show which began on MIT's college radio station, WMBR 88.1 FM, in the mid 80s and was hosted by Magnus Johnstone. The show became widely influential in the Boston hip-hop scene and has since become a significant part of the Massachusetts Hip-Hop Archive at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
For my research, I conducted interviews with Dr. Pacey Foster, the archivist who runs the Massachusetts Hip-Hop Archive, and with Matt Reyes, a Boston native who grew up listening to and performing on "Lecco's Lemma." With permission from Pacey, I also scoured through the archive, and pulled a lot of audio materials from it to give listeners of my documentary a chance to hear "Lecco's Lemma" in its original form.
This documentary won an Award of Excellence from the Broadcast Education Association and was a finalist for Best Documentary at the 2020 Intercollegiate Broadcast System Conference. You can listen to the full thing here.
