Do you need a sound designer or mix engineer? Or general swiss army knife producer/sound whiz? I can't recommend Michelle enough. Brimming with ideas, skill, and a deeply collaborative and generous spirit. Get her while she's available!!!

excited to be nominated for Best Sound Design at the Ambies this year and be among these stellar contenders. i love making sound-rich work, and Girl V Horse for @espn.com's 30 for 30 podcast was an ambitious world building project through Foley recording, modulating library sounds + field recording

Signal and Noise What are the sounds of Guantánamo Bay Detention Center? In 2015, poet Jordan Scott set out to record the ambient sounds of the prison as a means of bypassing…

In light of yesterday's news about Trump's terrible vision to expand Guantanamo Bay to a 30,000 migrant-detention facility, we just put up a film we made in '22 about the hidden horrors of this place + the power of deep listening on vimeo. #CloseGuantanamo

“In our copycat chat podcasts, generic self-help shows, paint-by-numbers murder tales, we’ve created templates that AI can also replicate.”

Thoughtful take on AI in audio and what it means for audio producers and journalists.

In Conversation: The Ethics of Podcasting @ AFTRS Masterclass Join is for an in-depth discussion diving into the world of podcasting ethics with Jess Shane and Pearl Tan.

Looking forward to chatting with #PearlTan this afternoon about overlapping questions in our series #ShockingHeartbreakingTransformative & #DiversityWork

We all have a little devil don't we? This is a heart-filled indie show to warm you up as the weather gets colder
Loving Jasmin's probing and playful interview style so far

self-laceration is my specialty lol
thank you friend <3

Screenshot from article: "Jess Shane’s dizzying and dazzling deconstruction of the documentary industrial complex is essentially a documentary about the making of a documentary. Disenchanted with her field’s traditional ethical practices, which she thinks lean exploitative, Shane sets out to reinvent the form, inviting the show’s “main characters” to take a more collaborative (and officially compensated) role in the telling of their own stories. Even when things inevitably go awry, the inside look at how narrative sausage is made — relayed with Shane’s sharp and ultimately self-lacerating wit — is never less than captivating."

I feel complicated about year end lists, but proud that our complicated show— made by a small but mighty team @michellemacklem.bsky.social @y00ree.bsky.social @audroma.bsky.social & #SaraNics— made this list & are in such stellar company
TY @reggieugwu.bsky.social!

A beautiful manifesto. I had an incredible experience writing for Sound Fields in its inaugural issue, and reading the other contributors’ work. Please support this valuable publication and contribute your expansive ideas to the next issue!

"I've been wondering why artists are required to dream up liberation in the gallery, but when that dream meets life we are shut down" ❤️

Actually tomorrow! Come tomorrow!

New Yorkers! Tonight at Hunter College, come see From Ground Zero, Palestine's submission to the Academy Awards. Open to the public and a rare opportunity to see this new and powerful collection of shorts by Gazan directors

a recent collection of my micro soundscapes. was so lovely to visit Gariwerd (the grampians) and be immersed in some deep listening in wondrous Djab Wurrung and Jardwadjali country. (also, hi bluesky 🙋🏼‍♀️)

#r4today @fallingtreeprod.bsky.social

a perfect encapsulation of the beauty of being held in Eleanor's transformative editorial guidance

Absolutely gutted by this news. Short Cuts was formative for me and so many peers. It taught us to explore our voices & take creative risks. It has been a beacon for art on the radio and emerging makers. @FallingTreeProd
fought for and built us a treasure 🕯️
