"[…] And this was just extremely well reported because we heard from those parents. We heard what they went through. And there was a finale to this. There was a resolution to this. So for me, Breakdown, that podcast is always sort of a standard bearer when I look at newspapers going into the podcast world. And this season of Breakdown really did not disappoint. It was very well done."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution hired me to help the reporters/hosts write, storyboard and interview for scene. I also edited script drafts and evaluated the show tape that the reporters/hosts had recorded before I was brought on board. I advised in plotting episodes, arcs and other storytelling elements as the supervising producer, insisted that the show do table reads and hire a fact checker, and helped coach the reporters' performance in the booth.
