Research &
Fact Checking
Supporting public-interest storytelling with clarity and credibility.
I support podcast and audio teams with research and fact checking for stories that require care, accuracy, and strong source documentation. I’m especially drawn to social impact, justice, and civic reporting.
Since 2024, I’ve worked as a research producer and fact checker on Nobody Should Believe Me, with credits on 40 episodes and more in production. My work has included episode research, sourcing experts, fact checking, citation and source documentation, timeline building, record collection, and narrative research that helped shape the story.
What I Do
I support podcast and audio teams with:
-
episode research

narrative research for story development
What I Work With
I dig through a wide range of source material — sometimes messy, sometimes sensitive, always detail-heavy. That can include everything from news coverage and medical records to police reports, court transcripts, lawsuits, emails, blogs, social media, video content, archived web materials, genealogical records, and nonprofit filings. I continue to sharpen my skills through trainings with industry leaders in fact checking, FOIA, narrative storytelling, and the evolving role of AI in research.
From the Work
A host I work with likes to say that I keep the production “cute, clean, and out of court.” It’s funny, but it gets at something real: careful research and fact checking help teams feel more confident in the stories they’re telling — and sleep a little better at night.
