Submit Your Sounds!

Be a part of This Moment in America, the show we're taking to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August!
We're seeking two types of submissions right now:
1. General submissions (details on the website)
2. Specific submissions, requests we have based on specifics in the script (details also on the website, but the current request does involve "naughty" words)

You can upload an MP3 or WAV of no more than 3 minutes
OR
Leave us a voicemail!

All the details are on the website: https://swampwitchstudio.com/podcasts/thismomentinamerica/submit-your-sounds/

The show is designed to reflect, well, This Moment in America, so it will constantly be responding to the current state of affairs...and it doesn't have to be anything in the headlines!

Watch this space for some examples and additional instructions if you need assistance with your submission. Explainer videos coming later this week!

25/05/2022

We're crowdsourcing a new audio drama. It will change as the news and views change, always striving to reflect...well, like the title says, This Moment in America.

And it's performing LIVE at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August!

So we need YOUR help!

You can participate through the Story Sharing Workshops. These workshops are part of the play development process, but they are also specifically designed to be healing for the person and, by extension, for the community.

We hope you'll join us.

There are two sessions offered online that start next week. Also, we still have availability for weekend workshops in June. Check out the link below to learn more and register, or to contact us to schedule a workshop into your space!

Storytelling has always been a way for humans to connect. By crafting a stressful or traumatic personal experience into a narrative with a beginning, middle, and end, we can begin the process of personally healing. By sharing that story with others, we can begin the process of community healing.

That is the goal of Story Sharing Workshops, part of This Moment in America. Online workshops begin next week! Learn more and register today at http://swampwitchstudio.com/thismomentinamerica.

To make This Moment in America Story Sharing Workshops available to anyone who is interested, regardless of their ability to pay, we are raising funds to sponsor spots for participants. This Moment in America is fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, which means that donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE! We hope you will consider donating today.
