Breaking Out of Breaking In | Co-Host, Producer

Breaking Out of Breaking In, co-hosted by myself and fellow filmmaker Christina Raia, is a practical, pragmatic filmmaking and storyteller podcast about taking your creative destiny into your own hands, reframing what it takes and means to “break in” to a fundamentally broken industry, and making work that gets seen without playing the Hollywood game (or at least, while changing the rules). Each episode explores a particular subject interrogated and researched by the hosts to turn an obstacle or limitation into an opportunity for listeners, or a conversation with a guest who shares exactly how they broke out, broke in, or circumvented things entirely to define success for themselves.

Episodes go up every other Thursday on iTunes, Spotify, or anywhere else you get your podcasts! We also have a Patreon where we release bonus educational content, templates, infographics that I design, and more!

Ended:

Burn, Noticed | Co-Host, Producer

Burn, Noticed was an episode-by-episode discussion and deconstruction of the USA television series Burn Notice, ending with us breaking our very own spec episode, The Fall of Chuck Finley. Co-created and co-hosted by myself and Christine Cherry. The complete series is available on Spotify, iTunes, and Stitcher, or your preferred podcasting app.

Forget The Box | Host, Producer

Forget The Box was the ultimate web series podcast, brought to you by Stareable, the largest community of web series creators, talking creatives of all levels through the making, marketing, and monetizing of independent digital narratives. Each week featured a unique filmmaking topic as well as a unique expert guest, including 2-time Emmy Award-winning web series creator Bernie Su, crowdfunding expert Christina Raia of Seed&Spark, and the multi award-winning production team Shipwrecked Comedy. Forget The Box is available on iTunes | Stitcher | Google Play

Bri and Chris Are Depressed | Cohost, Producer

Bri and Chris Are Depressed was a companion podcast to the web series Sam and Pat Are Depressed, co-hosted by the co-stars of the series who are themselves depressed. Each episode of the podcast deconstructs both the accompanying web series episode but also the therapy/depression observation discussed within it. Put differently, it’s a comedy podcast about mental illness hosted by two real life friends and depressed people who also have a comedy web series about mental illness. It’s funnier than it sounds. Bri and Chris Are Depressed is available on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | Radio Public

Polyhedral | Cast Member- “Nate”

Polyhedral was an in-development actual-play Dungeons and Dragons podcast by Gordon McAlpin, an animator and illustrator who also hosted and DMed the Polyhedral campaign. I played as Nate, the tabaxi (cat person) fighter with a penchant for chaos. After recording the first few episodes, the game and podcast unfortunately dissolved due to scheduling issues, but I couldn’t live with myself if I took this amazing art by Gordon off my site, so here it stays!
