Experience My Work:
A new radio play (Spirit of the Radio) now streaming on Spotify:
Kate L. & Kate R. host the first all-female morning radio show in Chicago, but a lack of listeners means that they are about to be moved to the dreaded night slot. But then Kate R. is attacked live on air, and Kate R. is left hosting a morning show that is becoming popular for all the wrong reasons. This fully immersive radio play is 50% love letter to radio, 50% satire of true crime, and 100% rock and roll baby!
