The Podcast Academy
I have been directly involved in the production of hundreds of podcast episodes and I have overseen or been directly involved in the production of thousands of videos. Most of my work has to do with music, culture, or politics and tends to be of a documentary or performance nature. If you would like to see additional work samples, please do not hesitate to ask.
Recently, I've been working as a contractor on various podcast and video projects while also running a project incubator that I founded to help artists and producers make and release their work.
Before that, I spent a decade rebuilding a podcast, video, and editorial platform from the ground up and inside out – from branding, UX, and CMS to production, post-production, and distribution workflows. I also previously ran an independent music and arts venue in New York City while freelancing in various film, television, and media jobs – both production and post-production.
If it's made up of frames, pixels, waves, tracks, bits, or bytes, I know how to do it or can figure it out quickly.
If it involves complex scheduling, budgeting, editing, or distribution, I can handle it.
If there's a team involved, I can collaborate, manage, or both – or if there is no team yet, I can assemble or train one.
If it involves music, culture, or politics, I understand it or can get up to speed and cover it.

"I've worked closely with Jeremiah on several projects related to the brands I oversee, including a podcast for Better Homes & Gardens that I hosted. Jeremiah is an incredible creative partner, collaborator, and executor. He has great ideas and knows how to get things done. He also remains calm in tricky moments (e.g. walking a guest through tech support). I look forward to partnering with him again soon."

"Jeremiah and I have been colleagues for over 13 years. He is a wonderful collaborator, problem solver, and of course, podcast producer. Jeremiah is a jack of all trades; he is quick to learn new skills in order to adapt to the ever changing media landscape. His thoughtful and creative approach to production makes him one of the best in the industry. I highly recommend him for all things audio, including script writing, editing, and audio engineering."
