Volunteer Spotlight

In this episode of Volunteer Spotlight, we interview Jon Arnold in person at AINC which is an exciting first for this show.

Jon has been the reader of the Colorado Outdoors program since August 2022.

Jon has a lot of knowledge and experience in the audio industry; before volunteering for AINC, he worked at CU Boulder where he produced the podcast CU on the AIR.

After the pandemic, he was looking for some volunteer opportunities, which is how he stumbled across AINC.

Jon enjoys reading, particularly reading out loud, and he is a self-proclaimed audio “gear head”, and these two things combined make him an amazing reader.

We are very happy to have Jon as a volunteer and as the Volunteer of the month for March, since he started, he has, and continues to put in a lot of work to make Colorado Outdoors an educational and engaging program, as there is a lot more to Colorado’s outdoors than just stepping outside.

On this second episode of the Volunteer Spotlight, Evan talks with Nick Isenberg, the host and creator of the Tactile Traveler.

Nick has years of experiences as a TV reporter, and he wanted to make his own travel show.

When he realized he could make a travel show for blind people, it all came together in five minutes, and he had the title and format for the Tactile Traveler.

Nick has some great past travel experiences, he has been to all seven continents, including Antarctica, which he has been to twice!

Nick and his producer Kayley are very excited to be the Volunteer of the Month for February.

In this first of VSL, Evan interviews Emily, the reader of Human Health.

Emily, who has been recording human health for 10 years has previous experience in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as a background in audio production; therefore making her a perfect fit for the Human Health program.

Emily enjoys hot tee, indie music, and going snowshoing.

She is very honored to be the volunteer of the month for January.
