Podcast Work

Voice Work

I am often hired to provide my voice for podcast and broadcast programs. I voice the intro for Derrick Story’s Inside Aperture podcast (you can hear a sample in the Joe Schorr program) and the audio and video series of Web 2.0 presentations produced by Good Company Productions (as an example, listen to A Conversation with Jeff Bezos). In addition, I worked for many years as an air personality at radio stations in a variety of formats including Smooth Jazz (WNWV), Adult Contemporary (WMJI), Urban Contemporary (WDMT and WZAK), and Album Oriented Rock (WERI).

Conference Coverage

Conference organizers can extend the reach and impact of their events with audio. I have recently produced audio interviews from Eclipse Con (including conversations with Robert Lefkowitz and an engineer from NASA’s JPL) and the No Fluff Just Stuff tour (including Neal Ford on Domain Specific Languages and Jay Zimmerman on Five Years of No Fluff Just Stuff). Distributing the Future also showed the power of editing down hour long keynotes to 10 - 15 minute excerpts.

Custom Content

Photographer James Duncan Davidson and I teamed up to produce a series of nine developer profiles for the Apple Developer Connection. Duncan provided both the pictures and the page design for the ADC Developer Pavilion feature which included interviews with Robin Frost, Eddy Martinez, and Will Thimbleby.

Original Programming

Our weekly podcast Distributing the Future looked at the people and ideas behind emerging technology and how we use it. The theme derived from William Gibson’s quote that “the future is here it just isn’t evenly distributed yet.” The program was produced for a little over a year for O’Reilly Media. Shows include A Brussels Walkabout, Playing with Location, and Emerging Telephony and Podjacking.
