Mind Over Manners (Podcast)
Mind Over Manners is public radio podcast distributed to the local station area of 1.7 million people through the NPR One app and made available online.
As a modern social etiquette podcast, it was designed to raise listeners’ “social IQ,” and to help them navigate and avoid awkward social situations.
Topics range from the light-hearted to the serious – from how to conduct a workplace romance to how to interact with police at a traffic stop.
I served as a producer for the first 33 episodes of the show and wore many hats. I developed show ideas, conducted “man-on-the-street” interviews, pre-interviewed guests, formulated host questions, supervised recording sessions, and managed the production workflow, keeping the team informed and on schedule.
