Beyond 9 to 5 is the second episode I worked on for Paltzcast! We interviewed animal communicator, Phyllis Lauer, to learn more about her unique profession! She shared many stories of conversations she's had with a wide variety of animals. She also shared tips with us on how to be better pet owners and even how to have a chat with your own pets!
Flora Fleisten's Guide to the Multiverse is an episode for Paltzcast, a podcast created entirely by SUNY New Paltz students in Brett Barry's podcasting class - this being the first of two episodes I worked on for this class! In this episode, follow Flora Fleisten, an intern at Hartnell Center for Interdimensional Operations, and her co-worker, Darell, on their adventures through the multiverse!
Spirit Box Story is a project created for my audio production class with Professor Brett Barry at SUNY New Paltz (Fall 2022) alongside Campbell Brown. We interviewed Erin Lefebvre, a friend well versed in the paranormal, and she conducted various spirit box sessions with us around our campus. We recorded both in a studio and in the field, wrote and recorded the voiceover, and edited the final cut using Pro Tools.
This is my good friend Olivia's story about her time as a foreign exchange student in Germany! She talks about how it all started, her highest and lowest points during her trip, and how COVID-19 flipped her world upside down. I recorded our interview and used Pro Tools to piece it together. This was a project for my Digital Storytelling Class at SUNY New Paltz (Spring 2021).
