I was responsible for the pre-production and development of the shows for the Multitude podcast collective and studio. I developed structure and unique ideas in defined podcast genres, I wrote show and episode descriptions, and encouraged smart community development with social media and Patreon.
The shows I have created, developed, and produced have amassed over 30 million downloads and garnered handfuls of awards. That includes shows for Netflix, SONY Music, and Defector. Adding in the shows I’ve consulted on and helped develop behind the scenes — all of the Multitude shows and many beyond — that’s many millions of downloads more.
