Biography
I'm an independent audio reporter, producer, and story editor from Los Angeles. Most recently, I worked on Track Change, a newly released podcast from VPM and Narratively and distributed by NPR. It follows the fate of four men in the Richmond City Jail in Virginia -- as they record their original music in the jail's studio, their lyrics give insight into how they got behind bars, and the futures they're working towards. I also worked with Conde Nast to launch the Get WIRED podcast for WIRED, and made radio stories at the public radio show and podcast Snap Judgment. For three years, I reported for NPR member station KALW in San Francisco, and I've also taught at the Transom Story Workshop. My stories have taken me to search for hidden graves on a remote Indonesian island, document the 2016 protests at Standing Rock, and interview a man who - except for his socks - was fully in the nude. My writing, photography, audio and video work have appeared in various outlets, including NPR, Studio 360, PRI’s The World, and The New York Times.

This auditory guessing game is part of our project, Audiograph, a crowd-sourced collaborative radio project mapping the sonic signature of each of the Bay Area’s nine counties. By using the sounds of voices, nature, industry, and music, Audiograph tells the story of where you live, and the people who live there with you.
By Liz Mak Verified| KALW-FM (San Francisco, CA) Verified Oliver Jacobson started playing violin when he was six years old. At 18, he enrolled at Berklee College of Music, one of the top music schools in the country. Back then, he wanted to be a star. But he had a sense he might be able to use his talent for something more.
By Liz Mak Verified| KALW-FM (San Francisco, CA) Verified Imagine this for a moment: What if everything about today was curated just for you? Who you meet, what you see, even how you feel? Everything, including this story (with eye-catching phrases written just for you). That’s the same approach taken by Odyssey Works, a group of artists based in San Francisco and New York. They make long-form, immersive theater productions that can last anywhere from eight hours to several months -- and they do it all for an audience of one.
