We’re off the charts excited to debut a new audio series of events, Mix & Master,  a monthly gathering that celebrates the best of the best in audio storytelling and documentary. Instigated by a dynamic duo we have been inspired by for a long time in the field of audio documentary, Avery Trufelman and Sayre Quevedo. We are teaming up with them to bring audio lovers and practitioners a dedicated and regular space to connect around the craft, celebrate past work, and find inspiration together.

On a given Sunday each month, we will invite a master of the form to share a bit of an inside look at their work and their journey. A dedicated host will guide us through some close listening—zooming in on selects to understand and examine special moments and tactics— with a goal to share new epiphanies and spark thought-provoking conversations. For February, Sayre will interview our first guest, Daniel Alarcón, Executive Producer of the award-winning Spanish-language podcast company, Radio Ambulante Studios.

Daniel is a true force in audio storytelling. A MacArthur Fellow, celebrated author, and journalist covering Latin America for The New Yorker, he brings a wealth of insight and experience. Most recently, he was the lead reporter, writer, and host of The Good Whale from Serial Productions and The New York Times.

For this series, we are partnering with the incredible folks at Hark Audio, where mixtapes meet podcasts. Our interviewers will handpick some standout moments from across each guest’s body of work and create a custom ‘Harklist’ for you to listen to before the event and familiarize yourself with some of their most impactful output, a kind of warm-up track, helping to surface ideas before the conversation begins.

Our playlist will be available HERE, one week before the event. Peek back for it, and grab your ticket today to add your voice to the mix!

And next month come back for Mix & Master: BA Parker & Avery Trufelman!
