I’m a Chicago based creative, primarily working in the realm of audio for podcasts and visual media. I enjoy translating very technical elements and knowledge into creative content. Here’s my portfolio, which is always in progress. For professional inquiries please contact me at: ethanschwabe1@gmail.com
Work
I did some editing for the “Slowquest Podcast.” Fantasy artist Bodie Hartley interviews other artists about their work. It’s really fantastic. You can find Bodie’s website here.
“Tisc Misc” is a collection of audio essay’s I’ve been slowly working on. Only one is finished, but there is more to come. The essay’s highlight some creatives that I love and discuss’s their work.
Currently I engineer a show for WBEZ, Reset w/ Sasha-Ann Simons. The role has given me a chance to produce some segments. Here are some links to my favorites.
