Sam as a professional

What I'm about

I'm a media specialist with a background in editing, writing, and journalism. I've worked across traditional print media, commercial radio, podcasts, video, and emerging web technologies.

I love creating cool things, telling stories, and telling stories creatively. Having worked in fast-paced environments like breakfast radio, I’m a workhorse editor and organiser. I take both short and long-term approaches to content whether that’s cutting a podcast to flow smoothly and connect with other episodes, write tight copy that gets a message across, or build something fun and interactive on the web for years to come.

I’ve edited award-winning podcasts, built tools that thousands of people have used, and contributed to print and digital publications across Australia.

Podcast editing & audio

I've worked as a commercial radio announcer, capital city audio producer, and journalist. My experience spans narrative podcasts, branded series, internal comms shows, and regional news - including coordinating a suite of weekly news podcasts from across the country.

I’m comfortable handling everything from cleanup and pacing to music selection and sound design. I love working with hosts and producers to find the rhythm of a story and bring it all together. I’m also a master of organisation - after years working on daily shows, I know how to manage, sort, and archive hundreds (even thousands) of hours of audio in a way that’s fast, clean, and scalable.

You can hear my work on shows like The Curious Life, Women of Influence, and iHeart’s regional news podcast network. I’ve also helped launch new podcasts from scratch, and I’d love to help shape yours.

Other things I do

I started my career in journalism and still love writing and telling stories in different formats. I’ve contributed to national magazines, written features for specialist audiences, and conducted hundreds of interviews in different formats

Over the last few years I have also built web projects, like Swiftle, a popular Taylor Swift lyric guessing game that’s had over 80,000 users and 150,000 plays in the last year. I designed and coded it myself, and it still gets hundreds of users per day.

Alongside audio and web, I do video editing and love projects that stretch across different platforms. Whether it’s building a website to support a podcast, helping a radio show go digital, or mixing media in unexpected ways - I enjoy every media platform.
