Super-saturated sound-portraits of entrepreneurs and artists at work on the 2400 block of Saint Paul Street: Whirring blenders, whispering crochet needles, bubbling deep-fryers, clanking screen-presses, snipping scissors, and whooshing hair dryers comprise the soundscapes at Style Lab, Ajna Printing, American Wings & Pizza, Lauryn Byrd’s Yarn Bombs, and Grind House Juice Bar & Café.
Funding for podcast production provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PRX, the Public Radio Exchange.
