About Garrett
Award-winning audio engineer, producer, and composer with additional expertise in film and theater production. I'm a classically trained guitarist and multi-instrumentalist and have worked in film and radio/podcasting for most of my life. With a continuing desire to experiment and test the boundaries of what audio and film can achieve, I have found a home across mediums, frequently taking the engineering lead on sound rich mini-series, true crime, and history shows. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with non-profits to help them find their voice in the media environment. Currently, I am the Post-Production Lead at CitizenRacecar while handling production and post-production responsibilities for a number of companies and shows including Campside Media, Sony Podcasts, Wondery, Audible, Obsessed Network, and Darknet Diaries.

Reveal: Monumental Lies
The Civil War ended more than 150 years ago, but the Confederacy didn’t completely die with it. Monuments, shrines and museums are found throughout the South. We teamed up with The Investigative Fund to visit dozens of them and found that for devoted followers they inspire a disturbing – and distorted – view of history: Confederate generals as heroes. Slaves who were happy to work for them. That twisted history is also shared with schoolchildren on class trips. And you won’t believe who’s funding these site to keep them running.
Here Be Monsters
Here Be Monsters is an independent podcast about fear, beauty and the unknown. We talk to people about crow death rituals, flesh eating beetles, internet scammers, nudism, hitchhiking, faith healing, transgender childhood, fake Sasquatch sightings, Cthulhu, psychological warfare, prayers to Satan, etc. Dig through our episodes a bit and you'll find shows about nearly everything.
Sights and Sounds
Award-winning podcast featuring scholars and experts talking about New York City’s most important historical sites and organizations, for Open House New York (OHNY) Weekend. Each recording presents a story or narrative about some participating location or institution, which can be used to supplement in-person visits, or to bring the OHNY Weekend experience home to anyone unable to see these NYC treasures.

Formative, from New York Edge, is the podcast where the leaders of today are interviewed by leaders of tomorrow! Our intrepid co-hosts, all between the ages of eleven and fourteen, conduct long-form interviews with successful adults from the worlds of business, science, the arts, and beyond.

Eclipsed
Stories you never knew you never knew. From Campside Media, ECLIPSED is a new weekly narrative history podcast. Hosted by writer and internet-dweller Bijan Stephen (The Verge, The Believer), each episode features a story hidden in the shadow of another event. Lakes disappear, sailors cry, and pop stars go into battle on this season of ECLIPSED.

Suspect
An apartment complex hosts a big Halloween party with themed rooms and costumed partygoers. By the end of the night one of the party’s hosts is murdered. And the partygoers are the main suspects in the eyes of the police: was it the guy in the devil mask, the guy dressed as Jesus, the bank robber, the construction worker? As a complex investigation winds its way through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even a psychic, the police zero in on one suspect in particular -- but why? From Campside Media and Wondery, the makers of Chameleon and the Shrink Next Door, comes SUSPECT.

Crimes of the Centuries
Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, there are a lot of cases that have earned the distinction. In each episode of CRIMES OF THE CENTURIES, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries, and each left a mark: Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.

Chameleon Season 3: Wild Boys
The latest season of the wildly popular con-themed podcast Chameleon takes place in the summer of 2003 when two half-starved young men turned up in a small Canadian town telling an incredible story.
They’d been raised in the British Columbia wilderness, and this was their first-ever contact with society — they’d never seen a TV, gone to school, or registered for IDs. So the community took them in and set about introducing them to the modern world. Before long, the international media descended on the town, enthralled by the mysterious “Bush Boys.” There was just one problem: not a word the boys said was true. Nearly 20 years later, award-winning comedian and journalist Sam Mullins uncovers the bizarre true story of the strangers who turned his hometown upside-down.
