Production, sound, & Assistant Editing: Speaking of Migration (WRFI Radio show/Podcast)
Produced November 2021 - August 2022 – Ithaca, NY, United States
Transnational political and economic forces have depleted rural Salvadoran communities, driving Salvadorans to flee and seek refuge and economic opportunities. Then they often also face repression and exploitation beyond their national borders. In the US, we hear about the plight of Salvadoran refugees, but the voices and aspirations of rural communities left in El Salvador are seldom heard.
The program brings the voices of Central American immigrants and migrants, their stories, perspectives, and visions for a more just immigration system and world.
I worked as a sound recordist on selected episodes as well as editor and assistant producer on all episodes. This meant editing, recording, and interviewing in both English and Spanish.
