I am a journalist and senior podcast producer at The Economist, where I make narrative audio for The Weekend Intelligence.

Before that I made investigative documentaries for television and produced current-affairs programmes for BBC Radio 4. My work has won Gold at the Signal Awards and been nominated for a BAFTA and a Webby.
