In 2013, Dacia was a lowly classical music librarian at Houston Public Radio. But she lived a secret double life as an audio producer (mostly in her mind). As legend has it, she got fed up with not understanding what the classical music announcers at the station were saying, so she challenged them to teach her about the music – in a recording studio. Peabody Award-winning producer Todd Hulslander got suckered into recording the conversations. Soon, Dacia and Todd became a lean, mean podcasting team. In 2015, trumpet player and former music educator Mark DiClaudio got involved with the show behind the scenes and wouldn’t go away, so they decided to keep him.
Dacia moved the show and herself to Seattle in late 2017. You can hear her other interview series on KING’s new music project, Second Inversion on which she’s also a DJ, baby.
