I’m currently helping the team who make the daily flagship podcast, The Intelligence with podcast production.

It’s fascinating to see how the team work together with their journalists from around the globe, to make a 20+ minute podcast with 3 different stories per episode, every single day.

It seems the organisation has a culture where the journalism and multimedia propositions integrate really effectively. It’s great to see, as from my experience news print journalists do not always see audio as a valuable proposition. Despite this, I’ve found all journalists at The Econonmist to be very willing to contribute to The Intelligence.

More broadly, it has been a pleasure to see how the organisation debates and argues positions that the magazine will publish. As articles include no bylines, instead of an author being responsible their view in an article, instead the organisation must come to agree collectively on what a piece will say.

Monday’s company-wide editorial meetings make for a fascinating spectacle!

Anyway, here are a few features I have produced whilst at The Economist:

Nadav Kander

A few weeks back, researching people for Strrr TV, I was reminded of the photographer Nadav Kander. I first came across his work when a former girlfriend brought me to see his show 'Yangtze, The Long River' back in 2010. By chance, early this year I walked by Flowers...

WeTransfer’s A Message From Earth – Music Section

In November, for the 40th anniversary of NASA’s Golden Record project, I produced the music section for WeTransfer’s A Message From Earth. 

The brief was wonderfully broad; programming, producing and delivering a music section which attempts to reflect the diversity of music on planet earth, and explore the experience of musicians today. 

Strrr TV

Since finishing at Mistral Productions, I've linked up with Daniel Brandt and the Berlin team at Strrr TV, working as their UK editor. It's been a lot of fun so far,  allowing me to use my audio and video production background, whilst getting to research, contact and...

Timothy Morton

Whilst doing some research for future potential Strrr TV guests, I'd ended up on the Studio Olafur Eliasson website. Olafur Eliasson is an Icelandic-Danish artist known for sculptures and large-scale installation art employing elemental materials such as light, water,...

Taz Tron Delix

A few weeks back I came across the work of Taz Tron Delix, a London-based director. His work with JD. Reid, Novelist and Oscar #Worldpeace is great. He's got a piece for Adidas out right now as well. Having researched his stuff, I then bumped into him in the pub the...
