My latest series, Home Sleuth, is five stories from citizen investigators - including Todd Matthews, dubbed the "first web sleuth", a teenage PI, and an animal rights activist on the trail of a cat killer. It was commissioned by BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 4 Extra.
 
I previously co-hosted, wrote and produced Bad Women for Pushkin Industries.

Using new research from police files, court transcripts and exhaustive genealogical studies, historian Hallie Rubenhold and I reconstructed the lives of the women murdered by the so-called "Blackout Ripper" in London, in 1942. We examined what placed the murdered women at the margins of society, and why the war years were so perilous for so many.

I'm also the co-host and producer of the Spotify Exclusive series Pseudocide.

Pseudocide is the act of faking your own death, and season one told nine different stories of death fraud through the ages. Fiona Sturges described these in the Financial Times as "hugely entertaining tales, each a Hollywood-style thriller...edge of the seat audio". Season two investigates one story over six episodes: the disappearance of Olivia Newton John's ex-boyfriend Patrick McDermott, in 2005.
 
I produced Murderabilia for Audible, which was selected by the BBC and the NME as one of the best podcast series of 2019.

I currently work for Pushkin Industries, where I am the show runner for Tim Harford's series Cautionary Tales. I do all sorts of things in this role, including overseeing the shape and content of each season, editing scripts and working with a sound designer to create immersive, transporting audio.
