Story samples

How the G.I. Bill changed America and made the middle class possible. Ben Trefny writer and interviewer, Holly Kernan producer, and myself as editor, sound designer, and mixer.
This radio documentary won an award for best in depth reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists, and a 2nd place award for best documentary from PRNDI in 2005.

When Firoozeh Dumas went on her first book tour, and her first trip away from her life as a stay at home Mom, we sent her to New York armed with a mini disc recorder. The result is this "radio diary." The title of her book is "Funny in Farsi." Holly Kernan wrote and I designed and mixed this piece. Aired on "New America Now” on 9/26/03.

Lisa Tsering, Entertainment Editor for India West, previewed this West meets East Broadway style production in London's West End. I recorded, produced and mixed this piece which aired 8/2/02 on "Up Front". I just find it light and humorous. Who can resist?
