“Three Weeks in the Secret City” (20 mins)
Radio documentary (role: producer & writer)

Created in the UCLA Extension class “Narrative Writing for Podcasts,” this story charts the journey of Rebecca Lee Moody, a freelance journalist with a unique vantage point on the 2018 Montecito mudslides. Following that disaster, she becomes embedded in the recovery efforts, witnessing small acts of heroism, helping friends on the outside, and coordinating food deliveries for first responders. Despite the death and destruction all around—or, rather because of it—Rebecca discovers a more idealized version of herself; and “Three Weeks” is a kind of love letter to a “secret city” where that could happen.
