Hey!
I'm Morgan Givens. I'm a storyteller, writer, performer and audio producer based in Washington, DC.
My work’s been heard on NPR and WAMUs 1A, The Kojo Nnamdi Show, WNYCs The Takeaway, (to name a few) and I consult and help develop shows from the halls of public radio stations to Hollywood.
I’m a graduate of the Transom Storytelling Workshop where I produced the workshop’s first historical fiction piece Runaway. Rob Rosenthal, the lead instructor at Transom and the host of HowSound, interviewed me about the piece.
I've been featured in the Washington Post, Buzzfeed, performed at Story District's Top Shelf, NPRs Invisibilia, and occasionally I can be found hosting or storytelling for The Moth.
I’m also the creator of the award winning and critically acclaimed podcast Flyest Fables where I use immersive sound design and beautiful writing to bring back to life the kid in all of us. (Transcriptions are available starting here.)
We all feel, in some place within us, that not only are stories necessary, but they are essential to our shared humanity. As an audio producer, and a transman, my goal in life is to tell the stories that challenge the narrative surrounding marginalized peoples, and to allow people to speak for themselves - to share their stories, elevate their voices, and shed a little light on some of the darkness.
Keep an eye out for Surreal Sessions, my next project dropping in 2023.
Thanks for stopping by. Take a look around, you won't be disappointed, and if you’d like to know what I’ve been up to recently, drop me a line.
