I produce podcasts from the ground up: developing a signature sound, booking interviews, writing scripts, and managing all the moving parts it takes to make something that lasts.
Each piece here reflects that hands-on editorial presence: thoughtful structure, immersive audio, and painstaking attention to detail.

When I meet people who haven't heard of Okoboji, I always show them a picture and joke, “You won’t believe this place is in Iowa.”
The Iowa Great Lakes are a cluster of towns nestled around seven massive, glacial-carved lakes. Everyone who lives there is an “alumnus” of the University of Okoboji… which doesn’t have a campus. The “downtown” is built around an amusement park as old as Coney Island. To the west sits a field biology station; to the south, a memorial to an Indigenous-settler conflict; and to the north, an abandoned cemetery rumored to be home to a witch. Old rail lines weave it all together.
That landscape of stories became the foundation for The Okoboji Project, a podcast about how the rhythms of one lakeside town echo the wider currents of American history.
Typically, conversations about beauty start by identifying a trend and end with recommending a product. But beauty is way more personal and complex than that, even to people who don’t pore over Allure or shop at Sephora.
Reflections, hosted by Baze Mpinja, is a smart, stylish podcast that holds up a mirror to beauty and society—exploring what’s beautiful, what’s complicated, and everything in between. With Baze’s witty, expert voice at the center, we go beyond the trends to talk about pop culture, media, sports, and how beauty shows up in our everyday lives.
