live from mount olympus

webby-nominated narrative podcast series

During the craziness that was (read: has been) the COVID-19 lockdowns, I had the incredible opportunity to work as the head writer alongside so many talented and creative people to create a narrative podcast for tweens about Greek myths, LIVE FROM MOUNT OLYMPUS.

Produced by TRAX from PRX  (This American Life) and The Onassis Foundation, LIVE FROM MOUNT OLYMPUS was co-directed by Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown) and Zhailon Levingston (Resident Director for Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) and is hosted by Tony winner and Hadestown star André De Shields.
