  • Sep 2015 - Mar 2019

  I help WBUR develop a range of new podcasts. While firmly focused on the future, I am always fine tuning our ongoing projects--including Kind World and Modern Love: The Podcast (a collaboration with The New York Times). I recently developed and launched "Circle Round," WBUR's first podcast for kids. Working with the talented team at Sheir & Shim (Rebecca Sheir and Eric Shimelonis), we will produce 30 episodes based on folktales from around the world. Readers include Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Jason Alexander, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Cryer, Dayo Okeniyi, Hudson Yang, and more. We will launch Season Two in Summer 2018. Audience development strategy includes partnerships with influencers and blogs like Fatherly, Commonsense Media, Homemade Charlotte, Design Mom, and more. Some other recent work includes: Season Ticket, a daily local sports podcast and an ongoing investigative podcast project--both with The Boston Globe. I spearheaded the WBUR partnership with Reddit to create "Endless Thread," a podcast about stories found on the mammoth network. "Edge of Fame," developed in collaboration with The Washington Post, exploring the life behind and beyond the spotlight. Season One includes episodes featuring Ava DuVernay, Weird Al Yankovic, Jimmy Kimmel, Hanson, Issa Rae, and David Letterman. We created a special episode in coordination with a deeply investigated Washington Post piece on R&B superstar R. Kelly. My latest project is supporting “Last Seen,” a deeply investigated serialized podcast about the largest art heist in history. WBUR.org/last seen
