As an Egyptian, I am so incredibly proud that the thing I started on a whim for audio creatives is now coming back to my home region. Retreat in the desert of Jordan? Who’s in?

We know the thrill of a deadline is awesome. But that sinking feeling that you might miss it is horrible. That’s why we’re extending the deadline to submit your ECCO piece by a week. New deadline: Sunday, June 29th. www.theecco.org/round2-sprin...

So so grateful to @airmedia.bsky.social for putting together this rate guide for people in the audio industry. I’ve been ridiculed in Germany before when I leaned on it in a negotiation. We’re so far behind here. Now.. maybe let’s do one for Europe? airmedia.org/tools/2025-r...

Today. It finally got to me. And I try so hard to stay optimistic. Build community, move forward. Make change where I CAN make change. But today. It caught up to me. The fear. The panic. About what’s going on politically in Germany. 🧵(1/10)

If you haven't listened yet, Little Devils' first season is out now! I had the pleasure of helping @jasminbauomy.bsky.social and @martatlon.bsky.social on this, four great personal stories about people wrestling with extremely sticky wickets

Little Devils is amazing and everyone should be listening to it.

We‘re on Bingeworthy!! Still rubbing my eyes in disbelief. ✨Samantha Hodder gave @littledevilsshow.bsky.social a really sweet writeup. I might just need to frame it. open.substack.com/pub/bingewor... Little Devils is made by @martatlon.bsky.social @newtimhoward.bsky.social &me

And here’s the pilot season finale, a perfect listen for this time of the year — whether you’re close or not so close with your family. 🎄

Possibly the hardest story I ever worked on. For @littledevilsshow.bsky.social I chased after my own Little Devil. This one feels quite scary to put out. Had a fantastic team to keep me straight. Thank you @martatlon.bsky.social & @newtimhoward.bsky.social pca.st/episode/d522...

In service of the "sonorous new year" I've been wishing others, I'm cooking up a daily listening homage / adventure / practice for 2025, and will be posting about it here. I can promise amazement, bemusement, occasional confusion, and pure sonic delight. More info and daily links start January 1 ✨

So.. for those who don’t know @janboehm.bsky.social is our very own version of John Oliver. Just with more music and podcasts. So to be mentioned by Jan.. pretty fucking awesome. ✨ (making this with the amazing @martatlon.bsky.social & @newtimhoward.bsky.social )

Ich master das ganze am Ende und versuche @jasminbauomy.bsky.social Stimme noch schöner klingen zu lassen als sie eh schon ist. Tolles Projekt. @martatlon.bsky.social hat dazu ein ganz wunderbares Sounddesign gezaubert.

EP3 of @littledevilsshow.bsky.social is out! Featuring a beautiful sound art piece by Jazmine (JT) Green ✨ And hosted by @jasminbauomy.bsky.social as usual :)

I love to imagine someone laughing in the supermarket isle because of this episode of @littledevilsshow.bsky.social ✨

Another opportunity for the audio-bold... The ECCO is back for round 02! Applications due Jan 12th, location yet TBD but, you know, think Southern Europe. 🙌

Takes a village 🙌 ❤️ #audiocahoots

Audio Flux reaches broadly to capture the sounds of human experience lived, in the imagination, and sometimes combined.

Here we go! Hope you'll consider supporting this little audio engine that can. And has. And will! Especially with your help.

My show Little Devils probably wouldn’t exist without @audioflux.bsky.social . We need these types of playgrounds to move the audio world beyond celebrity and true crime pods. Let’s support their survival. It doesn’t have to be much. Whatever you’d have spent on lunch today, every bit helps.

Let’s go!! Deadline is Jan 12th. And the “application” is really nbd. I want to retreat with you and make cool audio things. Join me!!

As your resident podcast nerd I just launched a substack: Monthly podcast recs by s.o. who actually makes podcasts. Subscribe.. or don't..or do. This started out as a favour for friends & is now a thing ppl want to read on the other side of the globe. Wow! podcastsunday.substack.com/p/podcast-su...

Louis Theroux’s documentaries are my Roman Empire. And being a guest on Hot Ones will be my holy grail. I don’t care if I’m 80 when it happens. youtu.be/wlL9RUGxXSs?...
