Curiosity Daily

Podcast Research, Script Writing, Producing

At the start of 2022, Discovery Inc. worked with production company Wheelhouse DNA to revamp their popular science and technology podcast Curiosity Daily.

I joined the team as a Script Writer. In this role I researched assigned stories, found additional sources, and created informational outlines that I then used to create five-minute scripts in the voice of both hosts. This work included communicating the important information, creating a narrative arc, and building the inter-host banter of each episode.

Midway through our first season, Wheelhouse DNA promoted me from Script Writer to Producer. As Producer, I worked with the in-house Wheelhouse DNA team, as well as corporate editorial representatives from Discovery, to ensure that each episode, and the podcast as a whole, met the necessary standards for production. This work included pitching stories, getting episode approval from Discovery, assigning subjects to writers, editing returned scripts, meeting breaking news and special event (including Shark Week) deadlines, and coordinating physical production and recording with the hosts and audio engineers.

At the end of our second season I had produced more than 30 episodes, and scripted over 100 episodes.
