I’m a two-time Canadian Podcast Award-winning writer, producer, and host for podcasts and radio. I regularly contribute to CBC Radio/Podcasts (The Doc Project, Personal Best) and produce and host my own series on the Sonar Network, You Made Me Queer! (Apple Podcasts feature, Xtra recommendation, opener for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee). Past interviewees include Olympic gold medalist Mark Tewksbury, film icon Sook-Yin Lee, comedy legend Scott Thompson and drag superstar Jinkx Monsoon.
I also host and moderate in-person events such as Fan Expo Canada, Toronto Comicon, the Toronto International Festival of Authors and the Kingston Writers Festival. Past interviewees include Jon Bernthal (The Bear, The Walking Dead), Ming-Na Wen (Mulan, The Mandalorian), Emily Swallow (The Mandalorian), the cast of Amazon Prime’s The Boys, Scott Patterson (The Gilmore Girls), and Sean Gunn (The Guardians of the Galaxy).
