Shows I’ve Made

In 2021, my friend Trisha Mukherjee and I received a small grant from Colorado College to create a podcast. We had never worked in audio before, but had long been avid podcast listeners. In the summer of 2021, we moved to New York together and taught ourselves the fundamentals of podcasting – everything from booking guests to recording high quality audio to crafting immersive soundscapes.

After more than a year of crafting sound-rich narratives about our guests and their work, we released People • Place • Power, a podcast that explores big questions around global activism through the eyes of activists creating change in underreported ways.

You can listen to the show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts.
