About

I’m Thomas Schueneman, a science communicator and audio producer with 20+ years of experience writing, editing, and producing environmental science and climate policy content, alongside a 40-year career in professional audio engineering and sound design. I’m fluent in both the written word and the craft of sound, and I’m committed to making complex stories feel urgent, human, and accessible.

I collaborate with researchers, journalists, and organizations to craft compelling narratives across podcasts, editorial pieces, and digital media. Whether behind the mic, at a keyboard, or leading a project, I bring curiosity, clarity, and a collaborative spirit to every assignment to help audiences care about climate, environment, and sustainable development.
