Are you curious about podcasts? At Podcast Wine Down, you’ll listen to a series of audio clips from Tell Them, I Am - presented by Higher Ground Audio and Spotify and produced by Dustlight - and join a discussion with Host Misha Euceph and moderator Se’era Spragley Ricks. Tell Them, I Am is about the small moments that define who we are and who we are not. The stories are universal. The voices are all Muslim. Host Misha Euceph opens a window into the lives of Tan France, Alia Shawkat, Ramy Youssef, Reza Aslan, Mercedes Iman Diamond and others.
As we go behind-the-scenes of the making of this podcast, you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for audio storytelling and some practical approaches for creating your own podcast or audio project.
The gathering is free - grab your favorite beverage and snack and join us online. RSVP below - all are welcome! We will send you instructions on how to join us beforehand.
ABOUT OUR GUEST
Misha Euceph is a Pakistani-American writer, podcast host and producer, on a mission to make things that inspire awe. She is the founder and CEO of Dustlight Productions, and Ad Week’s 2019 “Producer of the Year.”
She’s currently hosting and executive producing season two of “Tell Them, I Am,” presented by Higher Ground Audio and Spotify and produced by Dustlight. In its debut year, the LA Times called the show “quietly revolutionary.” The New York Times called it “hypnotic listening” and TIME, The Atlantic, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Huffington Post and the NYT Podcast Club named it one of their best podcasts of 2019. The series is about the small defining moments in our lives— the voices are all Muslim; the stories are universal. You can learn more about the podcast from this interview on All Things Considered.
Misha is also an Executive Producer on Renegades: Born in the USA and The Michelle Obama Podcast, produced by Dustlight, in collaboration with Higher Ground Audio and Spotify.
Before that, she produced The Big One: Your Survival Guide, named one of TIME, The Atlantic, Thrillist, Vulture, IndieWire and NYT Podcast Club’s best podcasts of the year. The New Yorker’s Sarah Larson called it “riveting” and “strangely reassuring.” All this podcasting started in 2017, with Misha’s autobiographical series, Beginner, about learning to belong as an immigrant in America.
