Coco's Barrio – Teatro del Pueblo's bi-lingual live theater and variety show – is now a podcast! I was a sound engineer and live-on-stage Foley sound effects performer for the original Coco's stage shows. Now I have the honor of recording, associate-producing, sound designing, and editing the Coco's Barrio podcast. It's just like the stage show but more intimate with new surprises. Check out all of our past episodes and stay tuned as a new 10 episode (!) is coming later in 2024 – we've recorded 5 full Coco's shows and are currently in post-production to turn them into episodes.

For nearly a year, I was "embedded" with the archaeologists at Nienow Cultural Consultants as they conducted a Comprehensive Literature Review – basically a full survey of cultural, historical and archaeological features – in a federally-defined geographical buffer area surrounding the Camp Ripley military base in central Minnesota. My job was to document their work which included: discovering long forgotten "ghost towns"; conducting a public archaeology dig; interviewing local historians, etc. I went along for the ride with video camera and microphone recording it all. Check out some of the videos I created during the project.

After meeting YIPA's executive director, Paul Meunier, and commiserating over the joys and pains of recording and editing podcasts, I tried my hand at editing an episode of the YIPA podcast, The Passionate Youth Worker. I've stayed on and work on each bi-weekly episode. Even if you're not a youth worker yourself, the international stories of these committed professionals are enlightening, personal and inspirational. Check them out.

MAHSC is the Metro Area Historical Society Collaborative – a partnership of Minnesota county historical societies in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul (Twin Cities) metropolitan area. In 2020, I sat down with archaeologist, Jeremy Nienow, and recorded a series of conversations about the archaeology projects he conducted in each of the Collaborative's counties – Dakota, Ramsey, Scott – in 2019-2020. I combined the edited versions of these conversations with site photos, historical images and video clips to produce a series of videos for MAHSC.

In fall 2018, Only a Game, NPR's sports radio show, hired me to travel to Sauk Rapids, Minn. to record reporter Tal Pinchevsky's interview with Austin Howard and his parents.
