WHO IS QUEEN?
I led production with Transmitter Media on the Dialogues Podcast which accompanied Adam Pendleton: Who Is Queen? In MoMA’s Marron Atrium. The podcast was a series of conversations organized by Adam Pendleton and featuring pairs of notable writers, theorists, philosophers, and musicians. Participants include Jack Halberstam and Lynne Tillman, Michael Hardt and Joshua Chambers-Letson, Ruby Sales and Simone White, Susan Howe and Alexis Pauline Gumbs, and Tyshawn Sorey and Matana Roberts. Excerpts from these dialogues were periodically incorporated into the sound installation within the exhibition between September 18, 2021–February 21, 2022.
AM I NORMAL
I produced two episodes of TED’s Am I Normal hosted by data journalist Mona Chalabi. This is a show about what data can tell us about our world, and about what it can’t; and more than that, it’s a show about epistemology.
When a dentist tells us something is wrong with our teeth, we tend to follow their advice. But when Mona visits two different dentists, they give her two wildly different diagnoses (with wildly different price tags). So how do we know who's telling the tooth? Mona digs up the dental data to look for answers, and finds that in reality, the study of dentistry is riddled with holes. Listen here.
We’re constantly checking boxes on forms and those categories can be empowering or, they can make us feel invisible. In Which box do I check?, Mona talks with nonbinary British Iraqi drag queen Amrou Al-Kadhi about embracing the contradictions of having multiple, wonderful, identities, that SOME people see as conflicting
the greatness
I worked on The Greatness with Kareem Maddox with Transmitter and UCP Audio about the Olympics for NBC.
I produced an episode on soft power and the East German sports industry, and another about our host Kareem Maddox and track star Ato Boldon, and how to know when to stop pushing for a sports dream.
Personal Best
I worked as an Associate Producer on CBC Radio's comedy podcast, Personal Best, a self-improvement show for people who are skeptical about self-improvement culture. Check out this episode in which I help my aunt birth a cow here.
Mic Drop
I was also an associate producer and mixer on CBC’s Mic Drop, where teens grab the mic to share stories with each other.
