I researched, wrote and edited scripts for Parcast's hit line of true crime podcasts. Most often, I wrote for Today in True Crime, a daily show highlighted a true crime event from history. The content ranged from recent, high profile, white collar crime to murders from the 16th Century. All of my scripts had to be carefully researched and thoroughly fact checked. Because of the daily format, I had to manage many different stories at once, and was actively writing or editing up to 8 scripts in a single week.
