About Rachel B.
I'm a versatile journalist, creative development consultant, and podcast story editor with a strong track record of transforming ambitious nonfiction ideas into premium podcasts and documentaries. I specialize in identifying compelling story hooks and narrative engines, helping reporters and creators find the entry points that will resonate with audiences, and shepherding complex projects from early development through production and launch. Highly skilled in conceptualizing original formats and series, evaluating story ideas, and overseeing longform journalistic projects, including investigative limited series, narrative weekly shows, audio documentaries, and digital feature packages.
I have a proven track record of creating and editing award-winning series that combine compelling storytelling, rigorous reporting, and high production values. My work includes the Loeb Award-winning "Spellcaster: The Fall of Sam Bankman-Fried" and the critically acclaimed, top-charting series ""Bad Blood: The Final Chapter", "Criminal Attorney", "Dr. Death", and "Broken". Most recently, I led the creative development of the Front Page Award-winning podcast "Liberty Lost," an exposé uncovering coercive adoption practices at a maternity home on the campus of Liberty University and the dark side of faith and control. A weekly show I developed and edited, "Scamfluencers", debuted at #1, won the 2023 Ambie Award for Entertainment, and has received more than 50 million downloads.
