In December 2025 I travelled to Cardiff for the debut of an interactive theatre piece I researched and wrote for Mega Events. This wasn’t just a show – it was an exploration of how investigative storytelling techniques used in podcast documentary work can translate to live performance narrative – which was a totally new experience for me. With 800+ seats filled, we saw how in-depth research, narrative structure, and audience engagement can come together on stage.

I’m now starting work writing the next lot of shows which will be across the UK in 2026. Tickets here.

Very excited to share the launch of my latest five-part investigative podcast series, Murder in the Masai Mara – a project I produced and sound-designed in collaboration with The Telegraph.

We brought together possibly 100s of hours’ worth of interviews, archival material, and field recording from on-the-ground in Kenya to uncover the 1988 murder of Julie Ward and the subsequent cover-up.

I was chuffed to speak on panels alongside industry leaders, including Ngofeen Mputubwele (Fela Kuti: Fear No Man) and Helena de Groot (Creation Myth), about the future of narrative podcasting and deep-dive investigations. We discussed how to balance sound design and editing workflows across global teams, and crafting stories with public interest at their core.

Exciting milestone: Al Jazeera’s True Crime Reports, for which I wrote and produced the 20 episodes, has now exceeded 8 million views, an important validation of in-depth, narrative documentary storytelling. This success shows how investigative podcasts – when combined with powerful visuals and contextual reporting – resonate with global audiences.

Excited to see The Positive News Podcast, which I produced, mixed & sound designed, win Gold for Best Wellbeing & Food Podcast at The Publisher Podcast Awards, showing the growth and impact of a project built around constructive journalism, narrative storytelling, and uplifting audio experiences.

Our show has connected with listeners around the world by highlighting resilience and solutions-oriented stories from communities in South Africa, Guatemala, Peru, and the Ivory Coast.

True Crime Reports has been recognised with four major awards, a milestone that speaks to the power of rigorous investigative journalism, narrative documentary craft, and high-end audio production. The series – which I wrote and produced for Al Jazeera – explores complex criminal cases from the Global South through deep reporting, long-form interviews, and carefully structured storytelling designed for global audiences.

The True Crime Reports team from Al Jazeera and Message Heard recently took to the stage at The Podcast Show in London, joining producers, editors, and journalists from across the industry to talk about what it takes to build a global investigative podcast series.

Our session focused on the creative and editorial process behind True Crime Reports – from developing short-form episodes with global teams, to scripting, editing, and sound design at scale.

A key theme of the conversation was responsibility in true crime and investigative storytelling. We explored how to balance narrative tension with journalistic ethics, how to centre public interest over sensationalism, and why careful scripting and editorial structure are essential when telling real-world stories of crime and injustice.

The Positive News Podcast has received four award nominations, at The Publisher Podcast Awards recognising its approach to constructive journalism and narrative audio storytelling. The six-part podcast blends thoughtful reporting, careful scripting, and sound design to create engaging stories focused on solutions and resilience – demonstrating growing demand for journalism that informs without overwhelming.

For the last six months, I’ve been busy writing a script a week for Al Jazeera‘s first foray into true crime storytelling. True Crime Reports is a video podcast that tells stories of injustice, corruption and power from the global south and beyond, using AI and archival footage in a way that hasn’t been done in narrative pods before.

The podcast I wrote, produced, mixed and sound designed for Greenpeace UK won Bronze for Best Climate podcast at the British Podcast Awards. The series was praised for its editorial clarity, immersive sound design, and compelling storytelling, highlighting the power of long-form audio to explore environmental issues through an immersive, human, and positive lens.

Excited to get my head into scriptwriting and producing a new true crime video podcast series with award-winning podcast production company Message Heard and a global news organisation.

More details to come.
