Cover Up: The Pill Plot
In July 2023, I released Cover Up: The Pill Plot, a seven episode narrative audio documentary series, with Sony’s Global Podcast Division. I spent a year reporting for this series, which looks into the history of the abortion pill. I created the show, hosted, and produced it.
Over the course of my reporting, I uncovered an international drug smuggling scheme carried out by a handful of dedicated radicals who changed American history forever. The series was picked by Vulture as one of the most anticipated shows of the summer, and reached No. 42 in Apple Podcasts’ coveted Top 200 True Crime charts.
BioHacked: Family Secrets
BioHacked: Family Secrets tells startling true stories of the children of anonymous sperm and egg donors — some with dozens or hundreds of half-siblings — as they take on the fertility industry. Unexpected ethical, scientific, and political challenges arise that will leave listeners questioning everything they thought they knew about the baby business.
This series is the culmination of five years of reporting. When BioHacked premiered in March 2022, it was quickly listed as the No. 1 science series in Apple Podcasts and peaked at No. 9 in their general 200 Charts. With more than one million downloads in the first eight weeks, BioHacked was selected by Apple Podcasts as one of its most loved shows of 2022.
Fierce Rivalries
In 2022, I developed the pop culture and entertainment podcast Fierce Rivalries for Sony’s Global Podcast Division. Fierce Rivalries is a weekly series that digs into the world’s wildest rivalries and dissects the fights, feuds, frenemies and drama that often ensue from them.
I sourced the talent for the show, and was ultimately able to bring on Emmy Award-winning artist and RuPaul’s Drag Race favorite Delta Work onto the production as a co-host, alongside Peabody-winning producer Kelsey Padgett. I developed the format, the pilot, and helped steer editorial direction for the show, which is geared towards Gen-Z LGBTQ+ people and young women.
They Did That
Who built the modern world? The answer to that question might surprise you. (Or maybe not...) There's a long list of global innovators and trailblazers who haven't gotten their due in the history books because of who they were: Women, people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, and more. Each week They Did That tells one of these people's stories and how their life’s work has changed our lives for the better.
I was a contributing reporter and writer to They Did That. I shared the story of how 1960s revolutionaries — The Young Lords and The Black Panthers — changed the American medical system. Today, The Patients’ Bill of Rights is something so common, you see it in every hospital — and we have these young revolutionaries who took over a hospital in the South Bronx to thank for it.
