High school sophomore Antoine used to have the same name as his father. In this story, he explains why he changed it.

A version of this story also aired nationally on National Public Radio’s (now defunct) Day to Day.

  • Reports & DocumentariesI’ve reported from Poland for NPR, the BBC, Radio Netherlands Worldwide and others. I’ve contributed to programs like “This American Life” and “The World.” I’ve also produced a few Polish language pieces for Polish Radio’s Documentary section. These are a few samples of those reports and documentaries.

    • Blank on Blank“Blank on Blank” is a multimedia project, headed by David Gerlach, aiming to bring lost interviews to life. Raw audio interviews – with famous names and everyday Americans – gathering dust on hard drives and cassette tapes are transformed with a little music, sharp editing, and smart storytelling into audio pieces, as well as animated shorts. I’ve worked hard with David to create fun, memorable and decidedly listenable audio productions out of hissing tape from elbow-knocked table-top recordings. I’ve produced quite a few for the project. Here are samples of my favorites.
