I was a producer on Fiasco: The AIDS Crisis. This 8-part documentary podcast tells the story of how AIDS devastated American communities in the 1980s and 90s. We spoke to doctors who saw some of the earliest reported AIDS cases in New York and Los Angeles, scientists from the CDC, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and activists from ACT-UP. The New Yorker named Fiasco: The AIDS Crisis one of its top ten podcasts of 2002.

I was a producer on Fiasco: The Battle for Boston. This 7-part documentary podcast tells the story of the movement to desegregate Boston’s public schools—and the backlash that followed. As someone who attended the resegregated Boston Public Schools, this story was especially meaningful to work on.

The New Yorker named “The Battle for Boston” one of its top ten podcasts of 2020, calling it “artful… riveting and narratively rich.” The New Republic also enthusiastically reviewed the show, noting that “‘Fiasco’ has the best production of any nonfiction podcast I know of.“

“Graceful, captivating… infused with a dogged optimism regarding the benefits of conversation to improve lives.” —The A.V. Club on “Hey Man”

“Hey, Man” is a weekly advice podcast for dudes hosted by me and my friend Avi Klein, a therapist who has written about masculinity for the New York Times and elsewhere. The idea for the show came from a conversation me and Avi were having about how most advice podcasts are hosted by women and mostly answer questions from women. We thought it would be fun and funny — and, hopefully, useful — to start an advice show for men. We also thought it would be an opportunity to meet lots of different kinds of men — men who often shatter preconceptions of what it means to be a man.

Each week, we’re joined by a guest who helps us answer a question from a listener. Past guests include a top power-lifting coach who became homeless, a South African lion tracker who struggled with PTSD after getting attacked by a crocodile, a guy who went viral for knitting on the subway, a prominent yoga instructor who was arrested for armed robbery at 18, an Olympic medalist who battled performance anxiety in the bedroom, the first trans man to box at Madison Square Garden, and an Afghanistan vet who struggles with guilt after surviving a deadly suicide bombing.
