She didn't have many friends, she was getting older, and didn't know who she was. After work she could never summon up the inspiration it took to get off the couch and leave the house. But that's when she discovered the solution that opened up the world to her… competitive air guitar.\n\nThe Leaves \nBy Jaye Kranz for ‘Between The Essays’ (The Essay) for Falling Tree Productions & BBC Radio 3 (2015) \nRadio producer Jaye Kranz was given a line of poetry from an Adelaide Crapsey poem—\"The leaves, frost crisp'd, break from the trees\"—and asked to make adventurous radio with it. What followed is a leap into the therapeutic possibilities of poetry, and a tumble down the rabbit hole into a dreamlike space of memories.\n\nThe Magic Skates [excerpt] \nBy Mad Genius for Where@abouts (2016) \nJeanne Du Snark brings the pain for the Mad Rollin' Dolls, a roller derby league in Madison, Wisconsin. The audio collective Mad Genius recorded Jeanne's world, remixing her skates into an arena-shaking stomp. \"You could get hit from anywhere. Just be ready.\"\n\nSix House Parties \nBy Ross Sutherland for Imaginary Advice (2015)\nRoss Sutherland takes you through a creative menagerie of themed house parties.\n\nKnitter on the Bus \nBy Kate Sweeney for Atlanta Sounds from WABE (2012) \nFred Skey is an Atlanta commuter who’s found a crafty way to pass the time as he takes MARTA to and from work: knitting. He says that the act of knitting feels like a meditation; when he focuses on his stitches during his long commute, the stress from the workday melts away.\n\nThis episode of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk.","author_name":"Third Coast International Audio Festival"}
