Podcast production
For the Duke Divinity School, I edit and mix the podcast Leading and Thriving in the Church, which features interviews that help inform the practice of modern church ministers (note that interviewees were not recorded in the studio, but rather online via Zoom and other applications).
For Duke’s Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, I edit and mix the podcast Duets, which features conversations between professors and undergraduate students.
In the spring and summer of 2024, I worked with the team from Tradeoffs on their three-episode podcast series, The Fifth Branch, which concerns Durham’s innovative crisis-response program, known as HEART. I provided background, gathered audio in the course of eight ride-alongs, and conducted and recorded interviews.
I have produced three episodes of the Ways & Means podcast from the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University. I conducted interviews, wrote scripts, and edited and mixed episodes on climate migration, solar-powered irrigation in Ethiopia, and regenerative grazing.
For Eno Publishers, I fine-tuned and mixed the podcast series 27 Views, featuring writers in the American South.
For Capitol Broadcasting based in Raleigh, NC, I mixed the ten-episode series What Remains (2022), and edited and mixed Episodes 11 and 12 of Follow the Truth (2021).
I produced The Battle for NC 11, hosted by retired judge Bob Orr, which ran from November 2021–May 2022.
In November 2020, I worked as an associate producer on the The Improvement Association, produced by The New York Times/This American Life. Over several weeks, I conducted interviews and recorded events surrounding the 2020 election in Bladen County, NC. The tape ended up on the cutting-room floor, but I did get a thank you in the credits.
