Named a 2022 audio selection at the Tribeca Festival, I Was Never There takes listeners on a trip into the countercultural movements swirling through West Virginia in the 1970s and 80s. Jamie Zelermyer and her mother Karen investigate the shocking disappearance of their friend Marsha “Mudd” Ferber and explore her evolution from suburban housewife to back-to-the-land hippie to drug-dealing bar owner.

"The Echo of the City" in Written in Air Magazine

Written in Air is an audio magazine connecting everyone everywhere through sound, stories and the human heart.

"The Echo of the City" is an audio documentary I made that was featured in the first issue. 

Eray and Alesandra met in April of 2024. Eray, living in Istanbul for 13 years, was on the verge of leaving. He asked Alesandra to photograph his home, so he could remember it when he moved. A complicated friendship blossomed, and Alesandra taught Eray a way to document his home, his life and himself.

As She Rises

As She Rises brings together local poets and activists from throughout North America to depict the effects of climate change on their home and their people. Each episode carries the listener to a new place through a collection of voices, local recordings and soundscapes. Stories span from the Louisiana Bayou, to the tundras of Alaska to the drying bed of the Colorado River. Centering the voices of Native women and women of color, As She Rises personalizes the elusive magnitude of climate change. 

Credits: I was a production assistant and later assistant producer on As She Rises, working with a team to book and interview guests, and write, produce and sound design episodes.
