All of the Above is an annual performance featuring monologues about race, gender and identity – anonymously submitted and performed — by female-identifying students at Duke University. All of the Above was born from The Women’s Initiative, a first-of-its-kind climate assessment about the state of women across Duke University in 2003.
As the show’s first audio producer, I pitched, produced and edited an original podcast series to continue the dialogue sparked by the show. Each episode, I sat down with performers and select guests, interviewing them about their relationships to the monologues and broader themes those stories explored.
Chroncast
Chroncast was the Duke Chronicle’s first official podcast, a product of the Opinion section. The premise for the podcast was simple: Despite that students knew many people at Duke, how many people did we know deeply? Proximity to others on a packed campus masked pervasive loneliness, proving counterintuitive to authentic conversations.
This show was a home for intimate dialogue — about everything from fear, to ambition, to conformity. As a co-producer, editor and host, I modeled Chroncast’s format after The New Yorker Radio Hour and Longform. Each episode, I sat down with a columnist to discuss the motivations behind recent op-eds and the impact they hoped to create.
