Personal Details

Bio

I've been podcasting since 2015 and editing others podcasts since 2017. I got my start back in college as a journalism major, working in newspapers, magazines and publishing, but turned my focus to podcasts when I started one as a hobby and soon became obsessed and saw how it can be so much fun for anyone looking to get their voice out there.

My podcast, The Story Behind, is a short history podcast about the origins of everyday objects. I've been going it since 2016. It's been nominated for the Academy of Podcasters' Awards in History, and a book based on the podcast was publishing in October of 2018.

Learn how to listen to podcasts and how podcasts can benefit your life, from learning to entertainment to news.

Start a Podcast for Fun or Business

You don't need to be a tech genius to start a podcast, in fact it's a great creative outlet for fun or a way to get in front of your audience (and potential clients) for a small business.

We can talk about:
- The Impact of podcasts
- The basics of podcasting (microphones, software, hosting)
- Repurposing content (video, blogs)
- Best practices

Podcast Interview Tips

For those who already have a podcast, this presentation will be all about the art of interviewing, getting a guest to open up, prepping the guest, making life easier in post-productions (or for your editor), and we can even try out some techniques.

I bring my 10+ years of being in journalism to help get a good interview that will wow audiences, while still showcasing you and/or your business.
