    What Now Sounds Like, the AI Isn't Smart Edition

    Here is the third installment of What Now Sounds Like. It occurred to me the other day that this show is more like a long song, or even ambient sound. You can listen in the shower or washing dishes or even while you’re going to sleep. The goal is to keep each other company in a strange time.

  3. 2 Seconds of Peace

    2 Seconds of Peace

    T.O. got out of prison in Rutland a couple weeks ago, after a six and a half year bid.  I met T.O. through my private investigator friend Susan Randall in May, 2017. He’d been a client of hers in a federal public defender case. T.O.’s been in and out of jail his whole adult life, and it’s become a kind of tradition for us to get together and talk when he gets out of jail. We don’t talk about his crimes. Mostly we talk about what it’s like to start over…over and over. Now T.O. is in his mid forties, and this time he was released in the middle of a Vermont winter.

    What Now Sounds Like

    What Now Sounds Like is made by all of us. You send me recordings that sound like this time we're living in, and I make shows with them. It could be an argument, your thoughts in the middle of the night, your songs and hummings....a recording of being on hold with your insurance company...whatever. And tell your friends to send their recordings too. Just email me at rumblestripvermont@gmail.com. song, a conversation, a middle of the night thought, a call to your insurance company....I don't know. Youthis what I hope is the first of a series.
