I’m an award-winning journalist, podcast producer, and audio teacher.

I love what I do.

I’m building the future of media by

  • writing on Substack

  • producing award-winning podcasts

  • and teaching at NYU, Hunter College, and Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.

Right now I’m working on a new show called The Disagreement w/Alex Grodd. I think you’ll like it. Listen here.

I’ve also made work for The Chicago Tribune, NBC News & MSNBC, Audible, Vox, Netflix, Pineapple, and more.

Shows I’ve contributed to have been written about in The New York Times, NPR, The Guardian, BBC TV, MSNBC, and recognized with local and national awards, including a Peabody Award and Pulitzer nomination.

My students call me passionate. My colleagues call me effusive. My cats don’t know what podcasts are.

And I think a lot about the power of a good gimmick.
