Julia Barton on Listening Like a Pro: The Hidden History and Future of Audio Storytelling
In this episode of Who's This For?, I sat down with the brilliant Julia Barton, a podcast story editor who has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Malcolm Gladwell. If you've ever wondered how to make your show a better listening experience, Julia is the person you want to talk to.
We get into the fascinating history of audio, a topic Julia explored during her Neiman Fellowship at Harvard. She's got this incredible knowledge that connects the dots from the earliest days of radio to the podcasting boom we're living through right now. You won't believe some of the wild parallels she draws, like how a hundred years ago, radio stations were literally based in department stores to sell receivers. It's a reminder that a lot of the challenges we face today are not new at all.

Branden Nall on Anticipating the Final Frame: A Photographer's Guide to Client and Audience
I’m joined on the podcast by multi-talented visual communicator, Branden Nall. We discuss his creative journey, from filming high school sports to becoming a professional photographer. Branden shares how his photography workflow adapts for different clients, whether he’s shooting a corporate event or a professional sports game. We also talk about how the final use of a photo, such as for a print ad versus social media, changes his process and how he sees the world through his lens. We also touch on the role of AI in his work and make a big announcement about our new partnership.

Micah Davis on Creating Connection: The Intentional Art of Joyful Work
My guest, Micah Davis, is an incredible full-time video maker, and it was so clear how his outgoing nature and pure joy in community directly fuel the amazing work he creates. We talked about how his journey started with a slightly sneaky plan to get into music festivals for free, which actually birthed his super popular "Walk About Talk Abouts." These aren't your typical "gotcha" interviews; they're all about fostering real connection and positive vibes on the street. Having been in a few myself (totally by chance, I swear!), I can tell you they're as uplifting and authentic as it gets.

Cullen Ryan on Option, Option, Option: The Hidden Work of Adapting on Stage
In this "Who's This For" episode, I had a fantastic chat with my good friend, comedian Cullen Ryan, to really dig into what makes a comedian truly connect with an audience. We quickly got into the nitty-gritty of how top-tier performers go beyond just having great jokes. Cullen broke down how years of dedicated practice and meticulously honing their craft are the real secret sauce. It's about developing impeccable timing, precise pacing, and that crucial ability to adapt on the fly. He shared how the most seasoned pros have told their jokes literally "a thousand times," building an almost intuitive sense that allows them to pivot seamlessly if something doesn't quite land—they always have an "option, option, option" ready to go.

Jodi Emerson on Breaking Through the Noise: Authentic Communication in a Digital Political World
This week, we’re getting into the weeds (in the best way) of political communication with Wisconsin State Representative Jodi Emerson. How do you actually break through the noise online? What does it take to connect with people across increasingly stretched-out districts—and still sound like yourself? Jodi gets real about the pressure of having every word picked apart, the constant scramble for attention on social media, and why showing up in person still matters. We also dig into how, even with AI on the rise, good old-fashioned critical thinking is more essential than ever. It's a thoughtful look at what it takes to communicate clearly and intentionally in a world that’s louder than ever.
