In 2023 I hosted three podcasts for Britten Pears Arts in advance of the 2023 Aldeburgh Festival. They included a conversation with Joseph McHardy about William Byrd, and interviews with Anna Thorvaldsdottir and Cassandra Miller.

In 2022 I hosted a three-part podcast series for Britten Pears Arts on the subject of Sexual Violence in Opera. The series explored how contemporary opera as well as historical works deal with the subject of sexual violence, and included contributions from composers, performers, directors, academics, and intimacy coordinators. Watch the three episodes here [trigger warning for content]:
