I began podcasting as a fun hobby in 2017, but it quickly turned into something that helped me develop new skills. Over time, I realized the potential of a good podcast, and my interest shifted towards a more professional approach. Now, I produce and sound engineer several podcast series for individuals and academic groups. I'm still eager to learn more about the format and see each new podcast production as a chance to grow. Below, you'll find a few of my favorite series.
Pod-Textualizing the Past
Pod-Textualizing the Past is a history podcast I produce for Dr. Susan Stanfield and her American History courses. While we reached our goal of increasing student engagement within her classroom, this podcast found much success outside of the university and is being listened to all over. You can read more about the classroom outcome here.
