In 2023, I pitched, developed, lead-produced, and managed the promotion strategy for a relaunched season of Women of Marvel. This new format was an anthology-style show (in contrast to the standard two-way interview format) with new hosts, higher production value, a world-class guest list, and a new creative energy to draw listeners into the Marvel brand through characters they recognize.

This season was a success by all metrics:

• total plays increased by 88%
• engaged listenership increased by 38%, and
• average consumption increased across the board by five percentage points, or 7.5%.
• the season was critically acclaimed, drawing press attention (The Mary Sue, Comic Book Resources, AIPT Comics) and a nomination for Best Entertainment Podcast by the Podcast Academy Awards (aka The Ambies).

I produced podcasts in-house at Marvel Entertainment/The Walt Disney Company from April 2021 through June 2024, creating alternating seasons of the two podcasts focused on representation of marginalized creators and characters: Women of Marvel and Marvel’s Voices.

Seasons of Marvel’s Voices that I developed and lead-produced include:

• Building a Better Table: The Power of Inclusive Creative Teams (Spring 2023)
• Global Impact (Fall 2022)
• Marvel’s Evolving Mythos (Spring 2022)
• Authenticity of Voice (Summer 2021)

In November 2019, I launched Burn the Boats for Evergreen.

Burn the Boats was nominated for Best Politics/Opinion Podcast by the Podcast Academy Awards (the Ambies) in 2021.
