Quarter Finalist (so far…)
I’m pleased to announce that the pilot script for Spector and Spectre, the scripted podcast I co-created with the lovely and talented Kimberley Ann Sparks, has been selected as a Top 50 Quarter Finalist in the Roadmap Writers Podcasting Competition. Whoot! S&S is a supernatural co-listening mystery series. It’s always fun working with Kim – and even more fun when we get some recognition. Fingers crossed that we progress to the next level.

PodSqod Is Hear
Ideas are nothing without execution. One such idea has been brewing in my head for years, but it took the right partner to bring it to life.
Last year, I reached out to my fellow Seneca College faculty member, Christopher Sweeney, and asked –
“Wanna make audio blockbusters together?”
Always interested in collaborating on new ideas, he said “Yes!”
With Christopher’s broad writing experience and my eclectic audio skills, we combined our talents to create compelling audio stories.
Fast forward to today, we’re making it official.
Say hello to Podsqod.
We are on a mission to create top-tier original IPs in spatial / 3D audio format ?
