The Third Coast International Audio Festival is currently featuring a series of pieces produced for Steppenwolf Theatre in conjunction with their new production of Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cellphone.

There’s an installation at Steppenwolf where you can hear these pieces, or you can visit the Third Coast site. My wife Hillary Frank wrote and produced the one called “Weird Little Plan.” Listen and find out why I’m a radio producer and not an actor.

And, when I interviewed Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg for Studio 360, I found myself leaving a lot of interesting stuff on the cutting room floor. Or at least, stuff that’s interesting if you’re a design and style nerd like me. There’s a nearly complete version of the interview I did with Scott Sternberg below.
