Any David Berman / Silver Jews fans out there? I bet. Am working on an audio thingee with a couple fellow appreciators, and we'd love to hear from you: www.speakpipe.com/DavidBermanP...

Over two moons to share that throughout this coming academic year, in cahoots wih the creative research hub ArtLab at @harvard.edu I'll be leading a workshop series based on @audioflux.bsky.social and exploring short-form audio storytelling inspired by a theme ("process") and prompts (of course).

PSAudioA! Thanks to @karaswisher.bsky.social for the substantive convo with Jeanne Gang about architecture / nature / design / heart -- been thinking about 'tricking the wind' all day. Here's one of JG's beauts, new to me and new-ish to the Chicago skyline 🙌 Ep: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Ahhh devoured this in 24 hours. Starts strong and gets better and better and better until... best closing podcast line, ever! It’s (too) rare and invigorating to appreciate something so much, thanks @serialproductions.bsky.social and @mashagessen.bsky.social

Six recent pods I've listened to / am still listening to. Six different temperaments, purposes, styles and sounds. All of them commendable but for very different reasons. Audio! What a medium! Obviously, I know. But still.

Great fun to guest on a couple podcasts recently and talk about sound, listening, collaborating & Audio Flux (Phantom Power) and listening, pets, TimTam & Audio Flux (Furball Confidential). Both eps are out now, and perfectly timed for me to plug @audioflux.bsky.social Circuit 07, too. 🙌

I’d say it’s going pretty well over here. (Besides the paper towel shredding incident yesterday.)

Srsly how am I supposed to get anything done with this guy around now? #timtam #coworkers 😍

New! Friend! Alert! Meet TimTam. Yes, like the best Australian cookie.

Today at 3p ET / 8p GMT + 1 on @resonancefm.bsky.social -- Last month four strangers, blindfolded, recorded an hour-long, unguided convo at the XMTR Fest in St. Leonards on Sea, UK. I was one of those four, and can not stop thinking about the experience. Soon on the RADIO🎢 player.resonancefm.com

Beautifully-crafted narrative anthology podcasts have arrived! Again. What a joy to have a few favorites back in my ears, after long, quiet stretches. Does it all mean something important for the industry? Hope so. @heavyweight.bsky.social @thetruthfiction.bsky.social #LoveMe

The thing about traveling is sometimes you get back home and miss waking up across from the sea. #XMTR

How excited am I about some upcoming biz (and play) with the @earhustlesq.com team? Let's just say... very.

July 7 / Not to make this off-key puppet recording from 1978 all about me BUT it was released by K-Tel, the label (?) also behind WINGS OF SOUND, the first record I bought for myself. Yes, at the mall. Archie Wood - Snowbird [2:11] ubuweb.com/outsiders/36... #listeninging #ubuweb #365DaysProject

It may be jet lag, but was just brought to tears by the 8th grade orchestra’s rendition of Wayfaring Stranger (kiddo on cello) 😭

Back from a magical time in Vilnia, Lithuania, at the EBU's Audio Storytelling Festival. Four days teeming with audio, stories, art, deep & lively conversations, dear new friends, dear old friends. Good for the heart + ears + brain + FLUX. Plus I met Leonard Cohen along an (unrelated) sound walk 🥹

Just helping the kid with some organizing which called for a single hole punch (aka paper punch) and am reveling at how well designed the thing is. Makes a great sound, too. So satisfying! So elegant! Down the rabbit hole... www.thoughtco.com/history-of-t...

Huh. Back in 2016 (given the Leonard Cohen nod) I mused about podcast genres at the Third Coast Conference. Still applicable, though obvs needs an update: CELEBcast, DEMISEOFDEMOCRACY(akaNEWS)cast, SCAMorCONcast, INFLUENCERcast,TECHBROScast, VIDcast, etc. And tbh might be time to retire HUMBLEcast.

In the face of chaos I am on a nostalgic Gums of Yesteryear trip. Can you also feel thousands of bits of candy coating filling every crevice between your teeth at the sight of this packet?

Nothing like finishing a book on a quiet morning, before everyone else wakes up. Coffee. Cats around. And the final 40 pages of this one… just stunning — somehow about the past, present and future, all at once. What a remarkable thinker, writer, storyteller, woman 🙌 #AnnieErnaux

Hard to feel hopeful about anything, and then you walk by a QRcode posted in your neighborhood by a 9-year old who just wants to share his recipes, including that one for Grandma's traditional Slovakian sweet dumplings 😭

In preparation for a talk next week, stumbled across this now and always (but really very now) reminder, in the first issue of my zine Anodyne (1994? 95?). Contributed by the wonderful @johnporcellino.bsky.social It may be time for a new issue hmmmm.

Funding for narrative audio is hard to come by [understatement] so it's practically *thrilling* to see this opportunity from the Doc Society's Climate Story Fund. Stories of all climate stripes will be considered for grants up to 125K(!) Deadline for applying is March 10: climatestoryunit.org/apply/

It’s been quite a week so am very grateful for this most beautiful Cold Mountain-y beer can ever designed.

It’s such a silly day, but then again why not love? Especially now and especially when yr kid walks into the room and hands you this (bought with his own hard-earned shoveling income) from your favorite local bakery. #CookieTime
