Host Alan Cummings looks on as LNFS's Kate Volkman, Sandra Wong Geroux and her newborn son Samuel come to the stage at the 2000 Webby Awards.

Lost & Found Sound is a national collaboration of radio producers, artists, journalists, sound collectors, film sound designers, public radio listeners and NPR. Lost & Found Sound is being produced in the spirit of such historic collaborative efforts as "The Family of Man" and the photographic essays and writings of the FSA and WPA. Executive Producers, Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva, The Kitchen Sisters and Jay Allison, will oversee this millennial collaboration and work with the nation's finest radio producers, creative artists, National Public Radio, individual stations and listeners to create an imaginative series that explores the changing century through sound. Academy Award winning film sound designer Randy Thom (Contact, The Right Stuff, Forrest Gump, Wild at Heart) will act as the Series Sound Designer.

The Kitchen Sisters have been producing radio programs together since 1979. Their works have been featured on All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Soundprint, The Sunday Show, Radio Smithsonian, and California Public Radio. They have received program awards from CPB and NFCB. CPB's Edward R. Murrow Broadcast Award winner, Jay Allison has created more than 200 radio pieces and special series for National Public Radio and throughout the Public Radio system and is also a contributing producer to ABC's Nightline. He has received two Peabody Awards, six Ohio State Awards and nearly every other honor in broadcast journalism.
