I've hosted, written, and produced podcasts that make best-of lists.
Most recently, alongside reporters Maurice Garland and Jewel Wicker, I worked on Atlanta Is…, a limited series about Atlanta’s rise as a cultural capital for Will Packer Media, which debuts November 2025.

Previously, King Slime: The Prosecution of Young Thug and YSL was nominated in the 2024 Ambies for best documentary podcast. Off the strength of the show’s original reporting and insights, I've appeared on CNN's First of All with Victor Blackwell and The Tamron Hall Show to further discuss Georgia's YSL trial.

Since I started freelancing full-time in 2010, my music reporting and cultural criticism appeared in Allure, Atlanta magazine, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Billboard, The Bitter Southerner, GQ, The Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and The Washington Post. From 2020 to 2023, I was a contributor to All Songs Considered, NPR Music's flagship music podcast, frequently chiming in on the show's New Music Friday segment.

In 2014, “Straight Outta Stankonia”—the Creative Loafing cover story co-written by Rodney Carmichael, Gavin Godfrey, and me—was voted the Atlanta Press Club’s Top 10 Favorite Stories of the Past 50 Years.

I've also used my skills to create branded content with an authentic voice. In 2019 I was a columnist at the Daily, the official editorial arm of Red Bull Music Academy, and a contributor to Red Bull Radio, producing and conducting interviews with Big Boi, Big K.R.I.T, The-Dream, Zaytoven, and others. Other clients include Bandcamp, Microsoft, the Recording Academy, and Volvo.
