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 and frequently work with non-profit organizations to expand the way their stories are told. Currently, I work for the ALS Association and CitizenRacecar while handling production and post-production responsibilities for a number of shows including Darknet Diaries and Crimes of the Centuries.

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.
HBM117: Grave Oversight
Sudan has been involved in ongoing civil wars since 1983. The wars were about religion, culture and resources. By 2005, approximately two million civilians had died. In 2011, the southern part of the country voted to secede from the north, creating the new country of South Sudan. But there were still three regions that were claimed by both north and south: Abyei, Blue Nile, and South Kordofan. These regions are rich in oil and have fertile farmlands, so politicians and humanitarians predicted there would be violence following the secession. Civilians in these regions, mostly farmers and shepherds, would be caught in the middle.
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.
Fish of the Week
Join us every Monday for Fish of the Week! Where we get to know all the fish — how they make a living in Alaska, what habitats they use, what they eat, and where they go and why. Everything you need to know to appreciate and conserve these fish and be a successful angler. We've got lots of fish stories below!
Connecting ALS
Connecting ALS is a weekly podcast produced by The ALS Association’s national office and the Association’s Minnesota/North Dakota/South Dakota Chapter. We aim to discuss research and technology developments, highlight advocacy efforts, and share the personal stories woven through the community. For transcriptions of each episode follow us on Tumblr. For more information on The ALS Association, visit: ALS.org
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.
Darknet Diaries
This is a podcast about hackers, breaches, APTs, hacktivism, cybercrime, and all the things that dwell on the hidden parts of the network. This is Darknet Diaries.
