About Rick
About
Let me introduce myself – my name is Rick, and I am a professionally published author, writer, audio producer, and YouTube host. My book Evolution Talk (adapted from my science podcast series) was published by Prometheus Book in October 2022. Since 2016 I have produced 11 audio fiction series geared towards middle-grade and young-adult audiences. Working with an international cast of voice artists, I introduced podcast enthusiasts to shows such as The Behemoth, Bryar Lane, Pixie, and the super-heroine tale Inhale. I have also performed post-production for Marvel’s official podcasts Women of Marvel and This Week in Marvel. Overall, I have written and produced 15 podcast series that have reached a worldwide audience of over one million listeners.
In 2021, I launched the Joy of Vinyl YouTube channel, which educates viewers, both young and old, about the vinyl playback experience.
My work as a writer and producer was featured in the nightly television series NH Chronicle (on ABC affiliate WMUR) in May 2018.
