My radio work has been heard on shows on NPR and PRI, on the Voice of America, and in podcasts. I've told stories in video form for places like Our State Magazine, the News & Observer, the city of Raleigh, and Duke University. Below are a few examples of my radio and audio work. I have also told stories live for the Monti.
Radio and other audio work
Here's one of my favorite pieces from "All Things Considered," about keeping score at baseball games. If you want to hear more, here's a link to my page at NPR.

I've had a few periods of connection with "Marketplace," on MPR, going back as far as the mid-1990s. This links to a few from my most recent period.

And here's one of my favorite radio pieces ever -- about wine glasses, from "The Splendid Table," which was one of my happiest radio homes during the years I was producing for them. 
I had a great home for a long time on "NPR's Day to Day." Here's a piece that allowed me to talk about my beloved Beaufort scale, which I've done elsewhere ... a lot. (My book about it is here on this very website.)
I once was once in a rather genteel way held hostage by a chimp. I tell you all about it here. |
Here are a couple pieces I've sold to radio stations through the distribution site PRX, including the "This American Live" satire, "This Wonderful Life."
For my current work at Duke Magazine I produce audio postcards and a podcast. Here's a piece about the retirement of the Duke Chapel Choir director, and here's one about a class that happened to be addressing the end of the world around the time that COVID-19 hit, and here's a recent series about realizations, connected to the annual Duke Magazine special themed issue. Below is the first in a three-part audio documentary about the 1969 takeover of the administration building by African-American students. The series eventually won a 2020 CASE Circle of Excellence Award, I'm proud to say.

The Duke Chapel carillon has played on during the COVID era.
Got to work with the folks at UNC-TV for a science piece that ran on KQED. They like a jouncier narrative approach than I usually use.

To support a story in Our State Magazine I produced this piece about maps of North Carolina.

Our State Magazine for a while produced a Minute History project.
NC State University built one of the great libraries of the 21st century. This piece accompanied a story I wrote for Our State Magazine.
