“Stoneskipper” was a nickname..

given to me by a good friend during a camping trip in the Sierra Mountains. But I really resonated with the idea of skipping stones, as a metaphor for creative endeavors being cast out into the world. And it stuck.

Today, Stone Skipper Sound has grown from just me (Brian Chapman) composing, singing and playing guitar for hire- into a full scale production house, where we are producing multiple podcasts, audiobooks, indie artists, commercials, movies, and library music.

SSS has also partnered with organizations that we feel are important, such as Kiss the Ground and Tangle, as well as our local community magazine Topanga New Times.

3/11/24 -

New Times Radio podcasts “FRAMED!” and “COASTWATCHERS” are now in their own spaces in the podcast world. When we began producing shows for Topanga New Times, we had no idea how big it would grow so fast. What we originally envisioned was akin to a radio station that would play all of the shows back to back. Our listeners have loved that format, but also we have heard from many who specifically wanted to subscribe to just one or two of the serial podcasts, without having to dig through that radio style feed. Problem solved! Please subscribe to “FRAMED!” and “COASTWATCHERS” on their independent links for easy access. Thanks for all your feedback!

3/8/24 -

“FRAMED!” Episode 3 is now available. This was a fun one in production. Tobey and I had fun voicing the delegates at the Constitutional Convention. Tobey’s a natural for this. He’s a great mimic and practices different voices all the time. He’s a great asset in our studio. Thanks, Tobey!

As usual, Jimmy P. Morgan makes this boring old stuff, super engaging and entertaining. We’ll be back real soon with more in this series. Thanks for all the support, and thanks to our sponsors:
