Robert's Portfolio

The Conversion Episode 2020
Unorthodox's annual conversion episode. I edited a conversation with David Ben-Moshe, who found Judaism in prison and now lives in Israel.
The Teacher Collaborative Podcast, Season Two
A podcast by and for Massachusetts teachers, produced in the middle of a pandemic. I recorded Zoom interviews, cut tape, wrote scripts, and edited four episodes in time for the entire season's release on June 8. I also changed the podcast's hosting platform to increase access to listener analytics.
Just Like the Real Sports
I followed a varsity video gaming squad over their first semester of competitive play. Things got wild. Produced at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.
25 Lectures In Under An Hour
Twenty-five writers and podcasters, including Jake Halperin, Mike Pesca, Susan Choi, and Anne Fadiman offer bite-size thoughts and suggestions for the writer's life and craft. Prepared for English 450 Daily Themes, taught by Mark Oppenheimer at Yale University.
Rapping in Maine
I helped record and edit this non-narrated story about Maine hip-hop artists trying to break out of the country’s whitest state. Produced at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.
Old Man, Old Town
John Woods has worked candlepin lanes for 50 years. He’s not stopping anytime soon. Produced at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.
Unorthodox Episode 233: Summer Reading
I edited this episode of the Unorthodox podcast, including dialogue edits, content cuts, and scoring for three remotely recorded interviews and a banter segment.
