TheMic

11/16/2011


I recently launched a website at DCMic.com. Over the past few weeks, I interviewed DC-area musicians who will be featured on a new podcast, which will be launching sometime in December, just in time for you to hang out over Christmas break, if you get one, and listen. I’m really excited-not only is the music eclectic but the interviewees are pretty diverse and really interesting people.

You’ll hear music and see pictures and videos at the website, like the one above. The podcast will be available on iTunes as well as streaming on the site. I’m making an effort to include DJs in addition to traditional musicians because I think a good DJ can be useful as a curator who can tell a story through music. And if I’m super lucky and the podcast gets turned into a radio show, there are a whole lot more surprises on the way…


Hirshhorn/Natural History Museum Vids

06/17/2011

As part of my fellowship with PublicMediaCorps, I worked with groups of middle and high schoolers from CentroNĂ­a at the Hirshhorn’s ArtLab and the Natural History Museum. They were just learning about audio and video editing, so I got to coach them through lighting, shooting, even using some special effects that I had never had to use before in my journalism work.

It’s just amazing how quickly kids pick this kind of stuff up and really excel at it once they’re having fun. These two are my favorite videos, but you can also check out the Hirshhorn and Natural History Museum sites.
