People • Place • Power
After graduating college, my friend Benjamin and I won a small grant to create a podcast about global human rights. We moved into a tiny apartment in New York City, taught ourselves how to use microphones and editing software, and got to work. We spent the summer interviewing incredible activists from all over the world and creating sound-rich narrative episodes on their lives and work.
The result was People • Place • Power, a podcast that explores big questions about global activism through the eyes of changemakers around the world. Click on the images on the right to listen to the episode, or check out the entire show on Spotify or Apple podcasts.
