Catherine's Portfolio
Against the Rules with Michael Lewis
Long-form narrative podcast about fairness and the authority figures, such as referees and coaches, who do – or don't – uphold it. Journalist and bestselling author Michael Lewis (Liar's Poker, Moneyball) takes a searing look at what’s happened to fairness. It feels like there's less of it every day—whether it comes to lending practices, college admissions, professional sports, or psychological well-being. Who are the people trying to level the playing field, and are they making an impact? Lewis interviews referees (Season 1) and coaches (Season 2) from many walks of life, bringing his trademark insight and wry humor to their stories of (in)equality today.
Above the Fog: Walking
Six-episode podcast exploring the intersection of walking and spirituality, produced as podcaster-in-residence at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral.
Viewpoints: Body Language – Metropolitan Museum of Art
How does the sculpted body communicate? Hear from Met experts, leading authorities, and rising stars, each with a unique perspective on the language of gesture, facial expression, and pose.
Hear diverse viewpoints from curators, educators, musicians, theater actors and directors, neuroscientists, and a deaf American Sign Language user.
Watch videos of dancers and choreographers interpret the body's expression.
