Introducing: Work Appropriate

Oct 26

I’m so excited to share that my latest project, Work Appropriate, launches TODAY. Work Appropriate is another Crooked Media podcast, and is hosted by writer extraordinaire Anne Helen Petersen. Each week, she and a guest host will address listeners’ workplace quandaries, from the mundane to the eyebrow-raising to the “WTF is wrong with people?”

This is the first time I’ve been a part of a show launch within a larger network, and I learned so much— about design, marketing, and even collaborating with composers. (On that last point— I’m obsessed with the theme music Chanell Crichlow composed.)

I’ve admired Anne’s writing for a long time, and it’s been such a treat to get to know her. I really think her work in this area can influence our shitty workplace cultures for the better, and I’m so happy to join her in that effort.

Subscribe to Work Appropriate wherever you get your podcasts, and submit your workplace quandaries at workappropriate.com. It’s going to be great!
