This audio was featured alongside a blog post I did for BackStory, in conjunction with our episode about the history of infrastructure in America. It’s a collection of oral histories about three significant New York City blackouts.

About

I'm lead producer at Do Over, a podcast about the strange terror of choice.

I used to be a producer for BackStory, which I joined after a brief and sordid affair with graduate-level philosophy in Guelph, Canada. I started a nationally syndicated radio show and podcast called Pioneer Radio, got some training at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, won a Third Coast Short Doc award for a three-minute piece about poutine, produced a documentary for the BBC about firearm suicide, and started a family.

Let’s just say I didn’t make a whole lot of progress on that Ph.D.

Turns out that radio is much more fun.
