Dr. Jeffrey Jones, Peabody Awards Executive Director
“Matt was early into the podcast space many years ago by launching the inaugural Peabody Awards podcast with top-tier Hollywood talent (Anthony Bourdain, David Chase, Larry Wilmore). His creative vision and easy-going interview style was perfect for the type of podcast we were shooting for.”
Casey Ann Hickey, Executive Editor + Editorial Director of Podcasts at Medscape + WebMD
“Matt brought a great deal of clarity, focus, and expertise to our team at WebMD. Launching new media products is a complex process. Matt approached this challenge with a strategic goal of developing best practices for production, direction, and editing as well as a methodology for quality assurance. Matt plans for the big-picture goals without overlooking the small details. It has been so incredibly beneficial to build out the podcast department with a colleague who is skilled in communication. production, and relationship building. We are in a much better place than when we started this journey and I know that is thanks to Matt’s contribution to the development of best practices for this department.”
