"David and I met a few months ago, but it feels like it's been so much longer.Sometimes, when we're alone together, we pretend that we're other people, living different lives in completely far away spaces of time. We imagine these characters as ourselves, only slightly different versions. They laugh like us, they smile like us, they even dream like us.How many times can we play this game before we become all that we imagine?" - Chelsea KiganoThis piece was produced in 2020 by Chelsea Kigano, Lily Sloane, Lilia Vega, and Emily Shaw, as part of The 24-Hour Radio Race from KCRW's Independent Producer Project. Music and sound design by Lily Sloane, with "Time Ain't Gonna Make Me Stay" by Ed Andrews from the public domain. Special thanks to David Lee.
Lilia Vega: "About ten years ago, I was inducted into a secret society in my family. The ones who know, and the ones who protect. We are the guardians of the family. The bodies we put between them and Him.He is a dark presence in our family, the man I call grandfather. He sits on the fringes of family gatherings, braying in that low, distinctive voice of his. He's a charming man, but whenever he makes a joke, no one looks at him as they laugh. No one calls him “father.”Is a secret really a secret if everyone knows?"This piece was produced by Chelsea Kigano, Emily Shaw, Lilia Vega, and Lily Sloane, as part of The 24-Hour Radio Race from KCRW's Independent Producer Project in 2019.
Ryan and Sebastian are off this week, so here's the full and unedited (for the most part) conversation whittled down to four minutes for KCRW's 24-Hour Radio Race talking about rascally neighbors paranoid about crime in the suburbs and how those obsessions drive the culture of pseudo-vigilantism in a hyper-alienated age of reaction.

Can you produce an entire creative project in just 24 hours, from start to finish? This week, Katy attempted just that. She and her good friend and fellow radio producer Casey Martin decided to participate in the KCRW 24-hour Radio Race 2021. The challenge: produce an entire radio piece from scratch in no more than 24 hours. With the somewhat lack-luster theme of "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", these two audio professionals get to work, taking a radio project from zero to completely produced and in the can. After Monday's episode on ideas, hear Katy and Casey go through the brainstorming process in real time, thinking up an idea and curating it to fit the theme. Find the finished project, The Thirty Year Secret, here.

We offer you this original submission to the KCRW 24 Hour Radio Race 2020 "Time Warp", with gratitude, for the opportunity! After nearly three months of bickering while quarantining together, this mother-daughter team finds peace while making radio together about a person whom they both loved very much and eventually lost to Alzheimers disease. With original poetry by Minerva Lerner and original song by Edward Harris. Produced and edited by Sara Harris. Hear in the City’s Sara Harris and Minerva Lerner delve into old audio recordings documenting the voice of Sara's father and the fluidity of time over 10 years living with -and through- Alzheimers in a multi-generational household. This, in honour of Edward Samuel Harris (02/18/1930-03/30/2018). (Featuring Minerva Lerner, Sara Harris, Amanda Harris, Edward Harris, and the sounds of homes they have lived in.)

The theme of this year’s KCRW 24-Hour Radio Race was “Where the Sun Don’t Shine”. One entry received the Nocturne Award. It’s called “The Telltale Arse” and it’s by producer Matt Livadary. The piece truly peers into the dusty corners of the night, where many would not look, and if they do what they see is uncomfortable, but real.
In this short bonus episode, hear the bizarre story of a college student who scaled a New England weather tower on a dare, stole a curious scientific instrument as a trophy, and inadvertently disrupted a series of climate observations going back more than 130 years.
