During my day-time theater job at Steppenwolf in Chicago, I listened to This American Life and Third Coast Audio while I ran reports. Inspired by these shows I went to my night-time theater job (by which I mean the one I did for no pay) with the idea of creating a radio ghost story, despite the fact that I had no idea what exactly that meant or how to go about making it. Like with most things, we found our own way. We put the audience in headphones and had them listen to parts of the story while they toured a mansion on the north side. (That's an old picture of it at the top.) We even got a shout out on the Third Coast Audio blog. Since then I've been hooked on integrating sound in my work.
