#63 With Evan Stern

Were You Still Talking?

Episode #63

On the show today I have the pleasure of talking to Evan Stern host of Vanishing Postcards a new podcast now available everywhere. We talk about how he got into podcasting, making a narrative or documentary style podcast, and all the things that he had to learn to produce the podcast.

I also ask about the next season and what is coming up.

From Evan:

A native of Austin, TX, I caught the performing bug at age 11 with a second prize win in the famed O Henry Pun-Off. After studies at Sarah Lawrence and the British American Drama Academy, I moved to NYC to pursue a career in performance where I had the honor of appearing as a soloist at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center among many distinguished venues.

Following a lifelong passion for raconteurship, and budding interest in audio storytelling, I grabbed a microphone and returned home to Texas in January of 2020 to try my hand at collecting oral histories. This project evolved into Vanishing Postcards, a documentary travelogue in which listeners are invited to join me on a road trip exploring the hidden dives, traditions and frequently threatened histories discovered by exiting the interstates. Featuring humorous, often touching dispatches from the backroads, within one week of its launch the show was named one of the Best Podcasts of 2021 by Digital Trends.
