Because of Anita – I was senior producer for this 4-part series, hosted by Cindi Leive and Salamishah Tillet. The show explored the legacy of Anita Hill’s historic testimony at Clarence Thomas’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Episode three featured the first-ever public conversation between Professor Hill and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
My Fugitive – I was senior producer for this 8-part series, hosted by Nina Gilden Seavey. Nina’s dad was a civil rights lawyer in St. Louis. In 1970, he represented a young man arrested at a protest against the war in Vietnam. Sentenced to five years in federal prison, the kid – Howard Mechanic – went underground. For almost 30 years. My Fugitive is the story of Nina’s search for Howard, and for answers.
Pod Save America: On the Ground in Iowa – I was senior producer for this four-part series, hosted by Tommy Vietor. Tommy was on President Obama’s campaign staff during the 2008 Iowa Caucus. Eight years later, he (and I) went back to try to explain how the caucuses work, and why Iowa goes first.
UnErased – a series with Jad Abumrad, about gay conversion therapy. Episode 2, about the Mama Bears, was my focus.
Last Day – a show about what’s killing us, hosted by Stephanie Wittels Wachs. I helped with the launch of the first season, particularly the first two episodes. Episode 2, about Stephano Cordova Jr., was my focus.
