About this Event

Once each month (...or so), we gather to share food and radio. It's a chance to meet a new friend and hear something you weren't expecting. For the October soirée, we are partnering with Radiotopia to welcome Davia Nelson, one half of legendary audio artist duo, The Kitchen Sisters at the PRX Podcast Garage.

Davia will be sharing some excerpts from her work, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and be available for questions. Afterwards, we’ll workshop a few stories – in progress or recently completed from producers in the Sonic Soiree Community.

Bring some food to share, we'll mix/mingle + catch up, then listen to some audio works in progress or recently produced. If you have an audio piece to share (5-7 min excerpt or piece) please email Heidi at heidishin at gmail dot com ASAP.
