The Bardo Abridged

I read George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo last fall, and as I was reading, I kept hearing such distinct sonic environments. The story really stuck with me, and so I cut a few moments together into a 10 min long scene, recruiting my friends to be actors. This was my first sizable project where I created almost all the sound whole-cloth on my own. It’s not as tidy as some of the others, but I’m quite proud of how it turned out.

Weird Voice

I joined the Ice Core Collective while this project was already in full swing, and it was an absolute privilege to jump onto this moving ship. This audio fiction anthology is deeply inspired by the spooky stories that we loved growing up. Dad’s Friend From Work explores the haunting nostalgia that happens when reminiscing about childhood events with the full context that comes with growing up.

Tales From the Singing Porch

TFTSP is an original folktale anthology podcast written and performed by Joe Blanchard and directed and designed by me.

This podcast consists of seven folktales and one prologue track ranging from coming-of-age adventures to urban noir to reflections on grief. We think we don’t have enough opportunities to tell and hear stories around the campfire in our day-to-day lives, so we want to create and share some of that magic.
