Here are all the stories I made for 60dB, page one. Page two here. Page three here. Page four here.
I’ve had the experience of a lifetime working for 60dB. It’s been amazing year. I have grown so much as a writer, producer and host.
I started working for 60dB from Austin and I ended up on the other side of the pond. Here I am working at a café in London.
I feel so lucky to have gotten to work for 60dB. I am so grateful that I wasn’t on the sidelines during this crazy year in news. I had the opportunity to interview fascinating sources and to have great conversations with some of the best journalists in the world.
