I love producing podcast stories! I co-produced two stories for KCRW’s “UnFictional” and co-produced a fun season of “What if?” with friends.
Podcasting changed my life!
I was obsessed with a memory
I became obsessed with a memory of watching a self-defense filmstrip in ninth grade that said if you thought someone was following you in a car, you should drive your car INTO a police station. Not UP to a police station. INTO it.
”That can’t be right,” I thought. Everyone else remembered it, too, but I had to be sure. I went on a hero’s quest to find it. Not only did I find it but I also found the woman who made it, Ronnie Eskridge, and she became my personal hero.
I co-produced the story for KCRW’s “UnFictional” podcast, with help from Bob Carlson, Carla Green, Marc Campos, many friends and family and, of course, one certified badass and the mother of self-defense education aka Ronnie Eskridge.
After I produced this story, ALL I wanted to do was produce audio stories and that’s when I made my move to work at LAist. It changed my life.
It’s featured in the episode “Running Away” and it’s called “Eight Pounds of Pressure.”
This is a story called “The Haunted Barn” that I made for KCRW’s “UnFictional” with Bob Carlson and Carla Green. This is the tale of Jordan Shay, Rachael Stevenson Brooks, Natalie Peck and I jumping at the chance to be characters in a haunted barn. Little did we know, we'd be trapped in a personal hellscape of our own making!!! Listen ... IF YOU DARE!
During the pandemic, my friends Andrea Goss Knaub, Maya Echols, and Jodi Christman and I created a podcast called “What if?” where we shared stories about our lives (silly ones, serious ones, all kinds) and then talked about what if those stories had ended differently? We would take turns sharing stories in each episode and then round out the episode with a roundtable discussion. It was so much fun. Our episode, “A Very Covid Conversation” was our most popular.
