This American Life, "Who Can You Save?" (co-producer)
"She gave birth in her bedroom by herself with her mother and father sleeping at the other end of the house. She handed the baby off to us at the side of the building and told us to leave..."

Radio OnEarth, "Robert Redford Reflects..."
"Film history is very problematic in that it has romanticized the West since the get-go. It is a romantic place, but in a far different way than Hollywood has presented it. You have to be in it and experience it to know exactly what that value is. It's tough, and it's raw, and nature is unforgiving in certain ways, and beautiful in other ways..."

Radio OnEarth, "The Frog with Fifteen Legs: Artist Brandon Ballengée on Deviant Amphibians"

Radio OnEarth, "Why Birds Sing: Talking with Interspecies Musician David Rothenberg"
"I wanted to make a different kind of music by listening to the sounds that animals make and changing the music I do in relation to what I hear -- which, at first, people are not necessarily going to like, because it's not entirely human music..."

Radio OnEarth, "Thousand Mile Song: Further Adventures in Interspecies Jazz"
"A humpback whale song takes about twenty-five minutes to sing. Then they start over and sing it again. They might do this for up to twenty-three hours. If you want to play that to someone, nobody has the time..."

Radio OnEarth, "Rising Currents: Speaking with Curator Barry Bergdoll at the Museum of Modern Art" 
"Over the past 400 years, the topography of New York City had been written in terms of hard infrastructure, which has tried to create a very clear demarcation between what is land and what is water. Soft infrastructure prefers that we can accept the world as a more ambiguous condition..."

Radio OnEarth, "Fisheries Expert Daniel Pauly on the Gulf Spill's Impact"
"It is possible that a massive rebound of the fish population will occur because we are not fishing them..."

Radio OnEarth, "How to Rot in Peace"
"The cornerstones of American deathcare came out in the late nineteenth century. Abraham Lincoln's funeral really put embalming and the casket on the map..."

Radio OnEarth, "American Buffalo"
"If I had been an 18-year-old in 1872, I can assure you, I guarantee you, I would've been a hide hunter..."

Radio OnEarth, "Poet Alison Hawthorne Deming on What Nature Teaches"
"I don't really understand why animals have such a profound effect on us, but I know they do. And I know we bring that into our care of children, our education of children. We use animal stories all the time, animal movies all the time. But when it comes to adults, we get either natural history or political activism. We don't so often get animal stories that are just kind of fun and interesting and reveal that strange space that will always exist between us and other species..."

Radio OnEarth Poetry Series (Producer)

Radio OnEarth, "Poet Kimiko Hahn on the Voyage Home"

Radio OnEarth, "Poet David Wagoner on the Wilderness Inside Us"
"'Men think they are better than grass...'"

Radio OnEarth, "City Girl in the Country: A Conversation with Poet Roberta Swann"
"I felt privileged noticing this fly. How beautiful it was. How beautiful the wings were. How much like a Gucci dress it looked like, and how basically original nature is. I don't think I try to do anything in my poems except record them. It all stems from emotion. I'm more an emotional being than anything else. I don't think I could buy a broccoli without an emotion behind it..."

Radio OnEarth, "Writing Nature Poetry in Brooklyn: A Conversation with Poet Colin Cheney"
"In a city like New York it doesn't take very much rain at all for the sewage treatment plants to get overloaded. You’ll start to have mixed rainwater and raw, untreated sewage flowing out of those pipes..."

Radio OnEarth, "Revenge of the Weeds: Talking with Poet John Bensko"
"Poetry helps remove 'the film of familiarity.' You go through life, and you get so used to things that you stop noticing them, you stop feeling deeply, you stop experiencing deeply. Modern civilization is very bad about increasing that problem. It makes us insensitive, and getting back to nature is important..."

Radio OnEarth, "Poet Pattiann Rogers: 'Everything out there is saying 'Yes'"

Radio OnEarth, "At the Crosswords of Observation and Imagination: Talking with Poet Brendan Galvin"

Radio OnEarth, "Memory, Age, and Love Poetry: Talking with Poet Daniel Mark Epstein"

Radio OnEarth, "The Strangeness of Things: A Conversation with Poet Chard deNiord"
"The actual creatures -- as well as flowers and trees and the things of this world -- are stranger than whatever we could imagine, because they actually exist. They've actually come into being in a way that we've almost come to take for granted. We think of a bird or a tree as commonplace, and we forget its miraculousness and its strangeness..."

Radio OnEarth, "A Thump at the Window: Speaking with Poet Mark Halperin"
"One can at least hope, since we're all going to die anyway, that our deaths aren't any more painful than one suspects that this bird's was..."

Radio OnEarth, "Poetry on the Brain: A Conversation with Poet Floyd Skloot"
"Because my word-finding capacity was so compromised by the neurological damage, I had to learn how to receive and work with the mistaken word choices that come up when I'm doing the initial acts of composition. Sometimes the word I'm looking for I can't find, but I find something close to it, and it turns out to be a richer vein than the one my intention would have led me to. So I had to learn how to live with accidents and discoveries..."

Radio OnEarth, "The Poet in Nature: A Conversation with Eamon Grennan"
"We try to acknowledge the shadow. The very fact of our attending to what by our inattention we can destroy seems to me to be a useful thing to do..."
