Professional Experience
Senior Podcast Editor
Cascade Tide Audio, Seattle, WA 2022 to present
Lead editor on two documentary series and one weekly interview show at an independent studio of eleven people.
- Cuts story from raw field tape with the producer, then builds music and ambience beds that carry the scene changes.
- Masters each episode to the loudness target the distribution platform specifies and checks true peak before delivery.
- Writes chapter markers, timestamps and show notes copy so listeners can find segments and sponsors can see placement.
- Places markers for the opening, midroll and closing ad slots so dynamic ad insertion lands on a clean edit rather than mid sentence.
Podcast Editor
Ferry Line Media, Seattle, WA 2019 to 2022
Edited three interview shows and one seasonal narrative series for a small network with 90,000 monthly listeners.
- Delivered two episodes a week from multitrack remote recordings, cleaning room tone and matching voices recorded on different microphones.
- Cut host read sponsorship spots to the advertiser script and sent alternates when a read needed a second take.
- Reviewed download and completion reporting with the producer each month and adjusted episode length where drop off clustered.
