Though most of my work nowadays is visual/documentary, I’ve also been doing more audio/podcast work. Here are my latest series.

Podcasts

kill switch (ongoing)

I host kill switch, a tech podcast about living in the future today. or, a podcast about how to stop being scared of the future.

some recent episodes: getting arrested by computers, why Nintendo is so weird, and why Twitter’s AI got obsessed with white genocide (despite the strawberry elephant).

I also got to compose the theme song, which was fun.

AUTHENTIC: The Story of Tablo (VICE, iHeart)

Someone once called this a ‘K-pop True Crime Podcast’, and it’s a little hard to argue with that.

In late 2021, I flew to Korea to talk to one of their biggest hip-hop stars.

This podcast is a mind-bending ride through a conspiracy theory that ruined lives all over the world, sent people to jail, and damn near got Interpol involved. In the process, we interrogate Korean education culture, American ‘soft power’, hip-hop's code of ethics, and whether we anything can do about Internet mobs.

It’s been featured in Deadline, NME, Vulture, and lots of other places. The first episode is below, or check it out on Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.

If Everybody Knew

In 2022, I produced a podcast for Princeton University, called If Everybody Knew, as part of a postdoctorate fellowship. Aside from the production, I also composed all the music. More about that below.

You can check one of the standout episodes here, or listen in your favorite podcast app (here it is in Apple Podcasts, and Spotify).

music

Music is mostly a side thing, but occasionally I do some professional work. This this HBO segment about videogames features an opening track by me, and I did some scoring for KPCC/LAist's award-winning Finding Home con DACA.
