GIMLET PROJECTS & GIMLET CREATIVE -(other Spotify Original Podcasts and Branded shows)
I worked on 14 shows at Gimlet, 10 of which I developed form the ground up. The Get Up (Spotify’s Morning Talk Show), and 10 Questions with Kyle Brandt (a hybrid trivia-and-interview show for sports fans) are two examples of shows for which I shaped the concepts and developed the pilot episodes. Think of my role as a pilot-season producer.
CONVICTION - A podcast anthology series about crime and justice.
I produced, wrote, scored, and sound designed Episode 4: Hell Hath No Fury, which tells the story of Max B’s trial and brings the listener into the courtroom. I also was a main contributor on research, reporting, production, and editing the series.
SCIENCE VS - Fact-checkers blow up your firmly held opinions and replace them with science.
I provided production support to Science Vs for their weekly coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Which meant I interviewed a dozen Swedish people about their trust in their government; researched bats’ crazy immune system; spoke with a gastroenterologist about his sneaky testing method to detect COVID-19 in the cells lining the intestine; etc.
DUET - Two artists take turns sharing the tracks that have shaped them. Featuring Mavis Staples, Yola, Jack Antonoff, John Darnielle, Nick Kroll, Ayo Edebiri and others.
I produced and edited the show, and I developed its sound identity, with scoring and cinematic sound design that take the listener on a trip down someone else's memory lane.
MURDER BALLADS - A host and their guests investigate what’s behind some old songs.
I pitched the show concept of a music documentary series that would explore the legacy of murder ballads and the true crimes they recount. It became a limited series weaving together interviews, storytelling and full songs. I conducted extensive research for the series, and
lead produced the episodes Revenge (about women songwriters who decided to flip the script)
and
In the Pines (about Lead Belly’s adaptation of In the Pines
and its
legacy).
THE WINDOW - Essential workers and other people from the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic tell us how they’re getting through.
I developed the show concept and production processes for those personal diaries; I also pitched, booked, and interviewed guests; and lead produced episodes.
AUDIOFLUX - A Wave Is Coming Towards You -
An open collaboration project from Julie Shapiro and John DeLore (vinyl release)
I produced and sound-designed this piece, which was commissioned as part of the inaugural cohort of AudioFlux.
CHOMPERS (an award-winning twice-daily podcast and Alexa skills) - The tooth fairy makes kids giggle while brushing their teeth.
I pitched, wrote, fact-checked, edited, assembled, scored, and sound designed countless Chompers episodes and managed the production calendar and publishing platform. I also coordinated with the Spotify Mexico team for their Spanish adaptation of Chompers: Mordelones.
OTHER PRINT & DIGITAL WORK
LES INROCKUPTIBLES - a French cultural magazine (print & online)
I covered the art scene and cultural policy, wrote the weekly column The Top 5 Exhibitions of the Week, conducted interviews, and conceptualized online art packages for premium readers - curating, sourcing, and licensing contemporary and archival images, and coordinating with artists, galleries and estates.
OCTOPUS NOTES #2 - a journal that gathers critical essays, interviews, archival documents and artist’s projects since 2013.
I licensed and translated the publication Baffling Means (by Clark Coolidge and Philip Guston) and wrote an essay about Guston’s poem-pictures for the journal Octopus Notes.
