Audio

Lindsay has been producing audio since 2006. Starting with an internship for her college radio station, KRCC, she developed an appreciation for telling stories through sound. That led to a gig for Earth & Sky, an internationally syndicated short-format science radio show, where she worked as a producer for four years. In 2011, Lindsay started her own family history documentary business called Reflect & Record, producing multimedia life stories. When podcasts exploded onto the media landscape, she rededicated herself to her first love: Audio.
