In a world where magic is real but invisible to almost everyone, the few magical beings that do exist struggle, every day, just to be seen. Season one of UNSEEN features ten different stories of identity, connection, and personhood (and, of course, magic) in the modern world.
The first season was made possible by 1,162 backers on Kickstarter, who pledged $40,406 to raise over 400% of its project goal.

Zero Hours is an anthology series, where every story is a different take on the end of the world - or at least something that feels like the end of the world. Each episode is organized around a kind of apocalypse, whether the cataclysm is planetary or personal. The stories are also set in succeeding centuries, with 99-year intervals separating each episode. The show begins in the past, catches up to the present, and eventually overtakes it.

Hot Takedown was the weekly sports podcast from FiveThirtyEight. On it, the crew used numbers to dissect the week in sports, taking down some silly hot takes in the process.
As the show's producer, I supervised remote recording during the pandemic, booked guests, did segment research, built show outlines, edited and published the podcast, and selected the egregious hot takes, which meant I did a lot of listening to Stephen A. Smith. I miss the Hot Takedown crew dearly but I'm also not sad about that last part ending, you know?

No Bad Ideas is a storytelling gameshow where we take the worst ideas from the Internet and try to turn them into stories that are actually good. In order to stay fresh creatively and have an excuse to hang out with each other, we take a couple terrible ideas they found on the Internet each week, horrify each other, and then turn them into compelling narratives. Or as close as we can get in 10 minutes.
