In this conversation, Blake and Cory dig into: How a pandemic-era dream led Blake back to a lifelong practice of ruin-exploring and, eventually, into podcastingWhy he cites Dolly Parton's America (and Radiolab's Jad Abumrad) as a defining influence on his approach to pacing and soundHis process, start to finish: field recording on-site, handwritten drafts, scripting, voiceover, and full sound designBringing in guest hosts and outside voices for the first time this season, after years of doing everything soloBalancing the show with a full-time nonprofit job and a part-time radio gig Listen to abandoned: The All-American Ruins Podcast.
