Overview
For the past 25 years, I have been introducing progressive authors to their potential audiences via radio interviews. My work supports movements for progressive social change and helps build public intellectuals. I help authors translate academic ideas into language that can enlighten and inspire mainstream and progressive radio audiences, and I create opportunities for authors to engage in meaningful dialogue with thoughtful hosts on public and commercial radio. Subject areas include: politics, social justice, anti-racism, environmental protection, human rights, criminal justice and other public policy topics, feminism, gay and lesbian concerns.I've supported each of New York Times best selling author Larry Tye's seven books, arranging multiple interviews on nationally syndicated NPR shows, including several appearances on Fresh Air.I've worked with McArthur genius award winning author Elizabeth Streb, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Bernard Lown, helping them reach large and varied audiences. Through my work on her first three books, I helped transgender activist and author Kate Bornstein build a national reputation, and along the way, played a role in sparking one of the most significant social movements of the 20th century.
