Jocelyn sometimes helps Julian Tepper, the Executive Director of the Coffee House Club (in residence @ the Salmagundi Club), to program speakers. 

She coordinates Breaking the Audio Fiction Form (BTAFF) with James Scully and Julian — these are usually select Wednesday evening events. Remaining BTAFF events this year are July 30th and October 8th.  She coordinates various Coffee House Club Luncheons with Julian — these are usually ongoing Friday afternoon events.

The Coffee House Club ​is a private social club on the cusp of its 110th anniversary. Currently located in a beautiful historic townhouse on 5th Avenue at 12th Street (the Salmagundi Club: 47 5th Ave, New York, NY 10003), a location on the list of New York City landmarks and on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Members and non-members congregate for companionship, conversation, debate, and the pleasure of each other's company. The Coffee House holds dinners on Wednesday evenings following a speaker or musical performance, and Friday lunches, where a guest speaker comes to inspire. Speakers for the Coffee House Club events come from all backgrounds and disciplines; artists of all kinds, writers, politicos, administrators, lawyers, health workers, and on and on. There is little restriction on form and content. No rules or officers. 

​​The goal — post pandemic — is to revitalize New York's artsy, network-y, social scene with great discussion, food and drink in a beautiful, historic building.

*If you wish to attend upcoming events, feel free to make a reservation via the Coffee House Club Eventbrite and/or email Jocelyn if you need assistance.

Breaking The Audio Fiction Form
​

The past decade has seen a resurgence of audio listening in podcast form. While initially dominated by independent creators, large-scale content distributors have entered the field. Even with this growth, audio fiction has remained a minor genre within podcasting, although more and more people are creating within this medium.

We feel that, for audio fiction podcast productions in New York City to grow, the culture around audio fiction needs to be pushed forward. This Breaking The Audio Fiction Form salon series will help create an environment where podcasters and audio fiction creators can meet, meld, and have strong emotional and actionable takeaways.
