Broadcast / Audio
In college, I took several audio storytelling courses and fell in love with the medium. And with an affinity for politics, I was thrilled to land at the Brian Lehrer Show in 2019, helping to spearhead the new live-to-tape Impeachment: Daily podcast, which I have continued to produce since its pivot to a daily national politics podcast. In 2020, I took on additional culture and lifestyle segment production at All Of It, and have worked with hosts like Anna Sale, Andrea Bernstein, Ilya Marritz, Brigid Bergin and Matt Katz on special programming, including presidential convention coverage, local midterms coverage, and a national call-in show about mental health.
In addition the radio and podcast work I have done at WNYC, I have also produced and hosted a 30 minute audio feature about an online community that uses public data in ways that one expert said could have prevented the American invasion of Iraq in 2003.
