Last year, The Dollar Store and the wonderful Third Coast International Audio Festival partnered up for Dollar Storeys, a short-form audio competition that asked professional producers and first-times to make pieces inspired by junk, just like we’ve done at the show for a few years.

Third Coast’s weekly show Re:Sound took a look back at the project this weekend, and you can hear it by clicking on that link. I had a blast going into the studio and hanging out with the public radio cool kids, and even recorded and old Dollar Store piece, “Aquapad,” for the show. It was such a great experience, and a real honor to be a part of Re:Sound, which I maintain is the most interesting show on ‘BEZ.

And for the record: I wish that every time I read something, I had one of the Third Coasters there to provide the outro music.
