I currently lead the production of our podcast Queer The Music, a podcast celebrating queer artists and the music that changed lives, with host Jake Shears. I manage end-to-end production, including pitching and booking guests, budgeting, cost monitoring, scheduling each series, and coordinating on location filming at Jake’s house as well as studio recordings at The Engine Room in the UMG offices.
I also work creatively with the Mercury Live team to produce creative decks, write episode descriptions, social posts, and interview questions, while also producing and editing promotional clips for social channels.
