The Story of Coach Ken Zacher

She Rides

"She Rides" an audio documentary about Fix Without Dix, or FWOD, an all women's and trans bike club in Oakland, CA. This was my first real attempt at an audio documentary, and it was produced in the Spring of 2011, while I was in graduate school at San Francisco State University.

A Team Sport for the Visually Impaired

There's a basketball court at a park near my house, and sometimes when I ride my bike past, there are people out there playing basketball in their wheelchairs. This got me interested in doing a piece on team sports for folks with disabilities. I found out that the games were a program of the Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program, or BORP, and started exploring the other programs they run. This is how I discovered goalball, which is a team sport for people with visual impairments. When I checked out a scrimmage, I was really impressed with their athleticism, and even got to talk to a Paralympian while I was there. This piece originally aired on The California Report on KQED.
