Raymond Pang

Ray Pang (he/him) is a Brooklyn-based freelance audio producer and sound designer. He's currently a producer and Sound Designer for Origin Stories, an award-winning podcast from the Leakey Foundation about how we became human. He's always interested in stories centered around a juicy mystery or place-based narratives exploring the messy and emotional intersections between community, food, and the environment.

Recently, he produced and sound designed season 12 of Drilled, an investigative climate show that looked at the lawsuit brought against Greenpeace by Energy Transfer, the company who built the Standing Rock Oil pipeline. 

Ray also served as the AIR New Voices Captain for two years, where he helped select candidates, invited speakers to speak to the fellows, matched fellows with mentors, and planned the curriculum.

He also worked as the producer of Hot Take, a weekly show for Crooked Media that explored the intersections between climate and just about everything under the sun, from fast fashion to electoral politics to the patriarchy. He also sound-designed the first season of Damages, a Critical Frequency podcast exploring the legal case for establishing “rights of nature.”

Before freelancing, Ray worked at PRX for 4 years.

In his free time, he's an avid community gardener, board game enthusiast, cyclist, and cook.

Ray earned his Bachelor's degree in Anthropology with a focus on environmental studies at The University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2012 and his Master's degree in Cultural Anthropology at the University of Denver.
