Those of you with a keen eye may have noticed a new section on the header:

Exclusives!

That’s right, exclusive interviews for Los Audio.

Hear from the best of LA’s audio community, whether they’re producing a hard-hitting investigative podcast, making unique foley, putting out a daily radio show, teaching emerging journalists, experimenting with synthesizers, or – best of all, if you ask me – wearing many hats to bring it all together.

The first Los Audio exclusive, Making The Other Moonshot, is my conversation with the team behind LAist’s latest series on LA Made. I talk with The Other Moonshot host Joanne Higgins, executive producer and writer Rachel Swaby, and LAist senior editor Suzanne Levy about how Joanne’s vision turned into a podcast, the production process behind it, and the career pivots that shaped its creators.

My conversations with the TOM team give insights into crafting narrative audio, leveraging archival material, and making career transitions in journalism and media. Look out for it in your inbox tomorrow!

And there are more to come. Just head over to the “Exclusives” tab on the main page navigation bar to peruse them all – as always, you’ll also get them right in your email and on the Substack app.

It’s so exciting to be able to bring exclusive conversations with the best of this community to Los Audio readers!

Cheers to making good noise!
