It's a 12-13 hour drive, one way.  

I felt uneasy walking into the Center for Documentary Studies' "Making it Sing: An Audio Institute" in early August. I hardly knew what all I even had recorded, let alone had all of my tap logged. And when I started explaining this podcast to people during our first dinner as a group, my uneasiness didn't disappear.

This summer, instead of working the routine 9-to-5 internship/fellowship/entry-level job that I’m “expected” to have, I’m working on a serialized podcast about finding the full story of “Dad #2.” With a grant from the UNC Creative Writing Program, I’m spending all summer ’16 piecing together the most accurate image of my father.
