    paper How Far Will You Travel?

    An original concept for a travel podcast called How Far Will You Travel was produced in partnership with Qantas. The first series focuses on Australia, where dbo Media co-ordinated the recording of original sound and content, which was then layered with engaging storytelling in a sound-design rich production. dbo Media also created a microsite to support the podcast.

    paper Keep It or Change Cars

    Keep It or Change Cars is the eponymous podcast of one of South Africa’s premiere automotive retail portals. The weekly episodes featured industry guests who covered motoring trends and offered advice for audience-sourced questions. I was editor and audio post production producer for the first 26 episodes.
