Join Lightning Rod Special for We Are Trying to Reach You, a new audio work created by Katie Gould as part of Sound Break.
Centered around actual voicemails left on Gould’s phone while she was undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), We Are Trying to Reach You is an original audio work that dives into the medical, financial, and emotional realities of one woman’s experience with infertility. Making the personal public, this provocative new audio work casts its listener as a patient besieged by a litany of medical information, overwhelming advice, and conflicting emotions. With bracing intimacy, We Are Trying to Reach You lifts the veil of secrecy, inviting listeners into deeply personal moments of heartbreak, rage, compassion, and hope.
Sound Break is a new series of audio works made in LRS’s signature explosive style. These three brand-new audio shows to be released throughout 2021 are designed for at-home listening, available for free online to all listeners. Sound Break is Lightning Rod Special for your ears.
