Founder, Radio Live Arts
Hi! My name is Jared Reed.
This project, radiolivearts.com, is born out of a love of spoken word performance—mostly audio drama and old-time radio programs, but also anything where the connection between word, speaker, and audience is at its most focused.
My personal tastes run to the classical, but that’s mostly from drama school training; as well as murder mysteries, but that’s mostly due to temperment. My hope here is to create the digital storing house for the performance experiments that we create.
Thank you for reading this far and enjoy your time here.
