About me
As an early player in Canadian podcasts, I produced, developed and oversaw production for acclaimed shows such as Thunder Bay, The White Saviors, CANADALAND, COMMONS and The Backbench.
My work has won awards, been repeatedly #1 on Apple Podcasts, and has been featured and praised in places like Globe and Mail, The AV Club, Vulture, NPR, Rolling Stone, Eater, Toronto Star, and CBC.
I was CANADALAND’s first managing editor, leading a small team of ambitious producers to create popular shows that pushed the medium forward, got millions of downloads and are being developed for TV. I have also produced work for Antica Productions, CBC Radio, Audible, TVO and Frequency.
My work spans bingeable true crime, to experimental arts and culture, to chat shows about current affairs. I have explored corruption and racism in a small Ontario town, told stories about our evolving understanding of how technology affects childhood, and made a needlessly in-depth oral history of Canadian weirdo legend Nardwuar The Human Serviette.
I’m currently based in in the Ottawa/Gatineau area in Canada. When I’m not producing podcasts, I’m making music, writing, deep in a book, or running around with my son.
