• Lead Podcast Producer

  • Dec 2021 - Oct 2022

  I joined Grid, shortly before launch, to design our audio strategy and launch our first audio products. My first assignment: figure out what a 'click-to-listen' feature, embedded within our stories, will sound like. Should it be a straight read-through of the story? Or should it be a more casual sit-down with the reporter? These were the questions I had to start with, building our first audio offering from the ground up. Meanwhile: I've been designing what our flagship podcast will sound like, hosted by Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias.

  Most recently: I was the lead producer on POLITICO's new flagship podcast, Global Insider. I produced conversations with presidents and world leaders, including NATO's Jens Stoltenberg. Before that: I oversaw POLITICO's newscast operation. I assigned stories and edited scripts for major events, like Election Night 2020 and the attack on the Capitol. On the side: I sometimes wrote stories for POLITICO. I published longform magazine pieces, contributed to Playbook and wrote breaking news stories on tight deadlines. For fun: I took photos, some of which POLITICO occasionally published. This fall, they published my 35mm photos of a behind-the-scenes look at the United Nations General Assembly.
