Somatic Media is a production group focused on developing projects that translate innovative concepts into consumable formats. Our focus is working on projects related to physical activity and embodiment. We also have an expertise in working with academic institutions to aid in communicating their work to a broader public.
We primarily work in audio production, but are interested in all types of media production inlcuding video, photography, and interactive experiential formats.
About the Co-Founders:
Samuel Clevenger
am Clevenger: Sam earned his PhD in Physical Cultural Studies at the University of Maryland, and is currently Lecturer at Towson University. His current research explores the historical transmission of ideas concerning the body, health, and nature in planning of idealized built environments, with specific attention to the history of the international garden city movement. He also teaches and researches topics in sport history, sport sociology, and sports media. In addition to his academic work, Sam also plays guitar and creates music on a regular basis. His music forms the initial basis of the original sound design for this project, and is just one of the roles Sam plays in the production of the podcast (Sam also edits, produces, and provides original writing content).
Oliver Rick
Oliver Rick: Working from his base as Assistant Professor at Springfield College, Oliver continues to build his duel academic research interests: the globalization of sport and urban physical cultures. His research, teaching, and work beyond the university looks to blend these areas of interest and as such shape his contributions to this project. Oliver contributes to the project as a narrator, editor, and producer, while also providing some original writing for episodes.
