Production
In collaboration with Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith and his team, I developed, launched, and led creative on the podcast Tools and Weapons, which featured Brad in conversation with some of the most interesting and consequential people in his extensive Rolodex. Brad and his team loved to tackle big, challenging issues like cybersecurity and AI disruption, which meant – for me and my team of producers, researchers, and sound designers – always being ready to find the thread that could make heady material pop for a wide-ranging audience. We built an audience from scratch, growing Tools and Weapons into a globally charting technology podcast.
In 2019, I began working with New York-based sonic branding and experiential agency We Are Listen on creating a podcast program for Microsoft’s cultural partnerships. The result was In Culture, a series telling the story of Microsoft-supported endeavors in art, music, fashion, sports, and sustainability/social good, and a platform for presenting partners in their own words. I worked as Senior Producer on the series, leading creative and editorial across all seasons, and producing segments with the likes of trailblazing San Francisco 49ers assistant coach Katie Sowers, Microsoft president Brad Smith, and electronic musician Julianna Barwick.
From 2016 to 2019, I produced extensively for Red Bull Music’s online radio platform, focusing on narrative programming and podcasts. Here are some highlights:
berlin zwanzig
A 20-episode bilingual podcast series covering Berlin’s storied music scene from 1998-2018, via interviews with the artists, journalists, and impresarios who were an indelible part of the era.
Nightclubbing
A six-episode podcast and radio series presenting the sound and stories of the world’s most famous and influential nights out, from New York and Detroit to Bombay and Birmingham, England.
Couch Wisdom
One of Complex’s best music podcasts, this weekly interview program showcases the best of RBMA’s lecture archives, featuring conversations with Björk, Mike WiLL Made-It, and more.
