Creators at Redwood Sound Labs

       Alex “Biggs” Small is the executive producer for Redwood Sound Labs and co-host of Fields of Glory . He played music throughout his twenties and learned to record, edit and mix during this time. When touring became impossible in 2011 he started podcasting to continue scratching his creative itch.      Unsatisfied with the size of his show’s audience, and unable to pay for advertising, he created his first podcasting network in 2014 to solve the problem. Alex enlisted friends and began producing outside of his own projects to grow the amount of shows. He helped conceptualize shows, mixed, edited, posted, social media or whatever it took to help newcomers launch podcasts.      Together with Aaron Donaldson he launched Redwood Sound Labs in 2021 with a goal of creating podcasts and radio programming that have a pop culture and educational bent. Alex has produced twenty-five shows. He is currently on the Last Chance Public Radio board and is an instructor at the MAPS program teachin

  Dr. Aaron Donaldson is a lecturer in the Department of Communication Studies and producer at Redwood Sound Labs. He teaches communication courses such as public speaking, rhetoric, gender communication, critical listening and thinking, intro to communication, and persuasion; he also directed Cal Poly Humboldt's Intercollegiate Speech and Debate program from 2015-2022. Aaron was born and raised in Helena, Montana and currently resides in Arcata, California. In his spare time he organizes Legos with his family, and swats at a banjo with whoever can tolerate the noise. He is the co-host of Reel War Project  and Fields of Glory.

 Charles R. Horgan spent his summers with his grandma in California, grew up in Arizona, and fell in love with Montana after being stationed in Georgia. He lives in Michigan now but his heart yearns for the west. He has a Purple Heart, but to insiders, it's truly not as cool as getting an OC Award at NTC. He is co-host of Reel War Project.

Zach Siegel is a musician, project manager, and educator. He holds a Master's degree in Music Performance, and spent years performing with various musical groups in the Chicago area. Now working in software delivery, Zach spends most of his free time listening to music and watching films with his family and Matt. Matt stoked the embers of Zach's interest in horror, broadening his awareness and taste in the genre as a whole. The Watch No Evil podcast was born of this exploration further into horror and related media.

Matt Mason is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and educator holding a Ph.D in Music Composition and Theory. Matt’s pop culture research and unique compositional voice has been presented across the USA, Europe, and Asia. He has worked with such prestigious groups such as the JACK quartet, Ensemble Dal Niente, Hypercube, and Random Access Music. Matt’s love of horror and the macabre led to his collaboration with Zach in the creation of Watch No Evil .
