Thirty years in broadcast radio, public media, documentaries, and podcasting taught me what makes content work. That’s what I bring.

I help podcasters and organizations fix what isn't working.

Your competition is time. With over 4.5 million podcasts available, you can't afford to sound missable. They simply won't come back.

This is for creators, businesses, and organizations who know something isn't working — and need someone qualified to tell them what it is.

Organizations I've worked with have gone from no media presence to international syndication. Others have generated over 1M views in their first year. Shows I've assessed have rebuilt their audience from the ground up.

Before You Hit Record

If you're really serious about starting a podcast, we should have an honest conversation to identify your goals, audience, and the show's structure. Being a host and being a producer are real vocations. You don't become an electrician overnight. Before you buy equipment or book guests, give yourself a fighting chance.

I've built radio shows, podcasts, episodic features, and documentaries from the ground up. I know what holds and what collapses.

What you get: A defined show concept, a format built for your audience, and a clear picture of what execution actually looks like before you commit to it.

Aircheck Sessions

An aircheck is how broadcasters get honest feedback on their work. That's what this is.

When I listen to your show, I listen the way a radio program director listens — because that's where I came from. I review your episodes and look at presentation, structure, and show stacking. I evaluate your workflow — how you're capturing, organizing, and delivering content. Then I give you a diagnosis and a clear plan forward.

Most shows deliver information. The best ones paint pictures. I know the difference.

What you get: An honest assessment and a prioritized plan — specific to your show.

Remote Production

Some organizations have the show concept and the talent. What they're missing is a senior producer running the room.

I can produce your podcast or video program end to end — recording sessions, directing talent, managing show flow, and delivering broadcast-quality content without requiring you to build a production infrastructure of your own.

This is for organizations and creators who understand the power of podcasting and are serious about what they're building.

What you get: A show that sounds and looks like it was made by people who know what they're doing — because it was.

Host Coaching

Most hosts sound like they're performing a version of what they think a host should sound like. You can hear it immediately — the affected tone, the read that doesn't breathe, the interview that loses the thread and doesn't know when to stop.

This is a craft. Craft is teachable.

I learned by proximity to people who were living examples of how to do this right — Pierre Robert and Earle Bailey, major market broadcasters who didn't teach from a curriculum. They just were it. More than 500 episodes later, I know what a host sounds like when they've found their voice. And I know what's in the way when they haven't.

What you get: A host who sounds like themselves — in control, present, and confident.
