*a tape sync is when someone holds the mic (e.g., me) on an interviewee while a questioner (host) remotely asks questions over the (inferior sounding) phone line.  When the voices are "synced" it sounds like they are in the same room (or close to it)


Unpublished pieces & works in progress:

Governor's Island
A visit to the past.... and a discovery.

Seersucker, Trent Lott, and Mom
You'll look sharp.
