This is What We Do

One of Leigh Anne’s audio productions is a weekly podcast called Resilient Earth Radio, a project of her 501 c) 3) entity, Planet Centric Media (creating media for a healthier world), which addresses the “critical issues facing our planet, and the positive actions people are taking. Her co-producers, co-hosts, and non-profit board members are Scott and Tree Mercer of the Mendonoma Whale and Seal Study (link to website.) Their guests are from around the world, and include scientists, citizen scientists, creators, and environmental leaders and activists. Together they have also produced the annual online Ocean Life Symposium.

The next podcast production she has in the works is a short series called Lindsey’s Horse Talk Radio coming later this year. These are being crafted from public radio shows she’s already conducted, and others planned for the future.

Leigh Anne has been working for over a decade on a documentary called Seabiscuit’s Legacy. This feature-length film (and possible mini-series) is about the positive transformation that can occur when you set others up for success (from humans to horses), and the healing power of horses, especially special needs children and adults. It is based on the Seabicuit story (from the past to the present) which includes a horse-assisted riding therapy program at the Northern California property where Seabiscuit retired, the Home of Seabiscuit, Ridgewood Ranch.

Leigh Anne has filmed, edited, and produced online tourism shows, commercial videos, and film festival promo reels for the Mendocino Film Festival where she filmed interviews with visiting filmmakers and celebrities.

She raised millions for tech companies (in the multimedia and hardware sectors) during their series B and C fundraising phases. 

More recently, she was a long-time volunteer of public radio station KGUA 88.3FM in Gualala on the Southern Mendocino and Northern Sonoma Coasts in California. During her time there, she greatly enhanced the automation system and online streaming for the station, produced several audio segments, produced and hosted a morning and afternoon talk show, created a rock music show, crafted most of the marketing materials, attracted numerous sponsors and donors, and trained several volunteers and producers.

During the late 70s to early 80s, Leigh Anne was a rock radio DJ at KSPN-FM in Aspen, CO where she produced radio commercials and edited films for TV. Leigh Anne lives and works among the redwoods along the rugged Northern Sonoma County coast in The Sea Ranch
