About Us


Return of the Birds is an experiment of sorts.

First, to show our two teenage kids how much time and effort goes into creating work worth sharing.

Second to dig into the nuts and bolts of a business: What it takes to navigate the processes of creating a limited liability company, building a recording studio, learning basic, remedial, sound editing, creating a website, managing marketing and social media and all the hidden surprises and heartaches of publishing a podcast on a schedule.

’Spare’ Time

Like a lot of other families, we both work full time. Return of the Birds happens early in the morning and late after the homework is complete. Weekends are never long enough. The result is totally worth it.

Return of the Birds is our first project, generously supported by a grant from the WDS Foundation.

We are happy you stopped by. If you want, let us know what you think.
