Sam Lay played drums on Bob Dylan's album Highway 61 Revisited. Corky Siegel founded the Siegel-Schwall band, plays harmonica and piano, and is passionate about combing classical music with the blues. Listen to hear more about their extensive musical collaboration and friendship.
CAI Cape and Islands: The Way of a Young Painter
28-year-old artist Coleen Gura has a degree in painting and art history. If you’ve spent time in Woods Hole, you’ve probably seen her art in two different places. But getting her work out in public has posed some unique challenges.

I mixed this episode as an intern for The Third Coast Festival's Re:sound, with help from producer Dennis Funk. This episode aired on WBEZ, Chicago Public Radio, in 2014. I also co-produced the short sound design piece "Off Route" with Dennis Funk, featured at the end of the episode.

A Greek archeologist tests a new deep-sea diving suit for the first time. He plans to wear the Exosuit on an upcoming dive to the Antikythera shipwreck, the discovery site of the Antikythera Mechanism. If it works, the suit will support him on dives down to one thousand feet deep.
I reported on this story, and produced the audio, for Transom.org in 2014.
