Bringing audio stories to life.
I’ve always had a deep love of the spoken word. Audio stories can carry you away to new worlds, buoyed by a mixture of sounds and the listener’s own imagination. In the podcasts I have worked on, I served as a co-showrunner, writer, script editor, co-director, and sound editor. Podcasting can be a very collaborative process, and I have been lucky to work with incredible creative teams.
Still Lives
After the fall of modern civilization, the last five people on earth hear a knock at the door. In this pastoral post apocalyptic fiction podcast, the quiet lives of the last humans on earth are upended by the arrival of a traveler, who brings a world of possibilities and dangers with him. The survivors must grapple with the lives they led before the apocalypse, and how to find hope for the future after everything ends. Still Lives has more than 400 reviews on Apple Podcasts alone, with an average rating of 4.6/5 stars. It has has played on NPR, been nominated for Audioverse Awards, had a write-up in The Onion’s A.V. Club, and has passed more than 200,000 downloads.
Can there please be more?
A fascinating, fresh, and fabulously done podcast! Still lives is an original (and frankly addictive) story of life after the apocalypse, in which survivors of an epidemic try to find their own ways in a world that is both foreign and familiar. Wonderful acting, incredible writing— a must listen!

A Touching, Pastoral Post-Pandemic World
Still Lives is a beautiful, thoughtful twist on the very popular (and unfortunately timely) post-apocalyptic genre. We tend to see a lot of dramatic intense zombie films, or nuclear destruction, but this is instead a quieter story set in an isolated rural homestead with a ragtag bunch of survivors (a scientist, a soldier, a child, etc.), lead by an inquiring archivist, who’s steadfast lives are interrupted by a lone stranger. It questions what a “good life” looks like in severely changed circumstances and it’s tight knit cast plays off each other wonderfully.

Magical History of Knox County
Everything happens in the middle of nowhere. Described as “a cross between This American Life and Welcome to Nightvale,” this podcast tells a very human story about a reporter who takes a new job in a radio station in rural Ohio. He gets more than he bargained for when he realizes that his radio station is at the center of a magical community full of forbidden knowledge, funny anecdotes, unusual creatures, secrets, eccentric characters, and a story that binds the whole county together.
The Magical History of Knox County has received very positive press coverage, including glowing reviews in Wil Williams’ Podcast Problems, iTunes, and Reddit. It also received a mention in Vox.
