VoiceBox is a weekly public radio series and multimedia project dedicated to exploring the art of singing and the best of the vocal music scene from the Bay Area and beyond.

VoiceBox
is a sound-rich exploration of the human voice. In each five-minute
episode, host Chloe Veltman, reporter Alyssa Kapnik and sound engineer
Seth Samuel explore pitch and harmony, meet shouters, singers,
announcers and stutterers, and ponder the meaning and importance of the
most primal of musical instruments. In
“Auctioneering,” we meet Colorado Auctioneers Hall of Famer Steve
Linnebur and Al Carlson, a long-time auction attendee from Golden,
Colorado. We also meet Justin Ochs, an auctioneer from Tennessee.
