Wonderful & Weird

I love to laugh and play in my work. My nerd-joy is unbridled. Here are a few episodes that were incredibly fun to make.

Co-Host: NPR Short Wave

Founding host of Short Wave, NPR's daily science podcast. In 2020, Short Wave was the most popular science podcast in the United States on Spotify and won an Ambies Award for the Best Knowledge, Science or Tech Podcast. I was part of the original group that built the team, developed the core sound, and created a system to track and increase source diversity at NPR. In the span of two years, I hosted or reported more than 300 episodes.
