As Senior Writer at WaitWhat, I wrote and edited over 100 episodes of the scripted podcast Meditative Story. The process of writing each episode began with the in-depth interviews I conducted with guests like comedian Tig Notaro and climber Alex Honnold. After each recording, I carefully reviewed the transcripts to unearth a singular cohesive story. From there, I outlined the strongest story beats and wrote the script using the storyteller’s words, capturing immersive and vivid sensory experiences. Each guest then went into the studio to record these scripts. Here’ are links to some episodes I wrote: Alex Honnold, Lulu Wang, and Tig Notaro.
