Kelley's Portfolio

Broken Ground
Broken Ground is a podcast by the Southern Environmental Law Center digging up environmental stories in the south that don’t always get the attention they deserve, and giving voice to the people bringing those stories to light. Hosted by Claudine Ebeid McElwain, Broken Ground was named a "New & Noteworthy" podcast by Apple for 6 weeks in a row. I produced two interview series for the project.

Inside Appalachia Folkways Reporting Project
I edit stories about music, craft, food, and other folklife from across the Appalachian region.

Inside Appalachia
I edit the weekly public radio show Inside Appalachia from West Virginia Public Broadcasting. I work closely with the show’s producer and hosts to help tell the stories of Appalachian people and how they live today.
