I worked at the Guardian for more than two years as a freelancer and a casual. I support its mission and wish to see it thrive in the future.
I also wish to see the freelancers it employs thriving, so I support @withMEAA's campaign to get them to the negotiating table.
But the beauty of podcasts is that you can always go back to them. So check them out if you're curious.
There are serious documentaries, there are silly travel pieces, there are ambient field recordings, there are stories about birds. And more.

I'm back with the third series of "14 Days", the project where I create a short audio story every day. One story, one day. For 14 days.
This time, from a city I knew well as a kid... Mexico City.

Aaaand just like that... it's done. The 14 days are over.
I probably should have posted links to individual stories as I published them, but I guess my audio skills are more finely tuned than my self-promotion ones.
@varispeeder Are you trying to travel back in time to stop Italy from winning the World Cup? Help them win? Is this a Zidane headbutt episode? Is it about Mexico 1970? I have so many questions
Yo La Tengo and Spoon are head to head in the eternal battle for the Band That I Forget About For A Year Or Two But Then As Soon As I Listen To Them Again I Ask Myself If They Might Just Be My Favourite Band Ever title.
Yo La Tengo is marginally in front right now

One of my plans (goals?resolutions?) for 2023 is to work more consistently on music. Whether composition or songwriting or sound designโIโd like to finish and release one new piece of music every week. So this thread is the way to keep myself accountable. One new piece/week...
24. An unfinished film cue for a scene from the animated Super Mario movie. A jaunty exercise in fast woodwind passages, galloping brass and transition glissandi.
Fun, but too much of a MIDI pain in the ass for what is less than a minute of music
