PODCASTING

Few mediums allow me to utilize my skills as a writer, producer and broadcaster as fully as podcasting does. I love researching and developing episode content, interviewing guests and figuring out creative ways to build and attract an audience.

I first entered podcasting with the launch of my TV rewatch series Go Chuck Yourself in 2018. Over the next four years, my co-host Erin Arata and I recorded and published new episodes on a weekly basis and amassed an international following. It was a thrill getting to revisit a television series that meant so much to me as a teenager and engage with Chuck fans around the world.

Since then, I’ve had the honor of guest hosting several episodes of Poured Over: The B&N Podcast for Barnes & Noble. As an avid reader and writer, it’s been a privilege getting to interview authors about their new books, their creative processes and how their interests and areas of expertise relate to our larger world.
