BEST DIY: Inside Mae Nagusky’s Playful Approach to Audio Storytelling
What does a podcast sound like when you never quite know where the next episode will take you?
Part sonic playground, part personal diary, part box of aural surprises, Creatures of the Wind is an independent podcast by audio maker Mae Nagusky, whose episodes move freely between formats and lengths. From capturing three years of her sister's childhood in a few minutes to collaging the complicated and intensive experience of childbirth, each episode is its own little world, held together by Mae’s playful curiosity and her instinct for finding meaning in the seemingly ordinary.
On this episode, host Cory Choy, Festival Director of the New York City Podcast Awards, sits down with Mae Nagusky, whose Creatures of the Wind won Best DIY Podcast at the 2026 New York City Podcast Awards. In this conversation, Cory and Mae discuss:
How Mae uses audio and interviewing to make sense of growing up, relationships, and the world around her
What gave her the confidence to take the leap and start her own podcast
How creative challenges help her grow as an artist
What she learned from making a new podcast episode every day for a month in Brooklyn
Why she embraces imperfect, unpredictable sounds -- including the wind -- as part of her storytelling
How she navigates the boundaries between making work and living her life, especially when the two overlap

BEST HOST: How Music and Personal Connection Informed Shirlette Ammons' Award-Winning Cadence
Tending is a 6-part series that follows the ongoing struggles Black farmers face in the wake of one of America's largest civil rights lawsuits, Pigford v. Glickman.
On this episode, host Cory Choy, Festival Director of the New York City Podcast Awards, is joined by Shirlette Ammons, the creator behind TENDING: Black Farmers Fight Against the USDA. Shirlette is a musician and storyteller, but, most importantly, as she says in each episode’s introduction, she’s the “granddaughter of a Black farmer.” The show took home the jury award for Best Host at the 2026 New York City Podcast Awards, and in this conversation, we ask Shirlette about:
How she developed her voice as a host
How she builds trust with interviewees
What it’s like to tell a deeply personal story
