Katie's Portfolio

Leafs Forever
Producing an unconventional history podcast about the people behind Canada’s favourite hockey team for Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. I coach host talent & engineer in-studio recording sessions. I work with archival resources to add punch & emotional impact to narrative.
The David Suzuki Podcast
I produced & did sound design (including original composition) for a five-episode podcast series for the David Suzuki Foundation, overseeing a team of two producers.
Now & Next
I produced seasons 2 and 3 of this 6-8 episode podcast series for Canada Media Fund.
The Secret Life of Canada
Produced first two seasons of podcast looking at all the people, places and events regularly left out of Canadian history. The podcast was the first show to be acquired by CBC Podcasts. I performed remote recordings, edited scripts, worked with music libraries & conducted on-the-street field recordings. The podcast won Silver at 2020 NYF Radio Awards & was nominated for 2018 Digital Publication Awards.
