About this service

Summary

I help podcast hosts prepare for better interviews through guest research, conversation framing, and thoughtful prompt design. As the host and producer of one interview style long-form podcast, and a second short form solo show, I understand what makes conversations flow and where they lose focus. My work is about shaping episodes before the mic turns on so recordings feel natural, intentional, and worth listening to.
