I've hosted, written, and produced podcasts that make best-of lists. King Slime: The Prosecution of Young Thug and YSL, was nominated in the 2014 Ambies for best documentary podcast. Off the strength of the show, I've appeared on CNN's First of All with Victor Blackwell and The Tamron Hall Show to further discuss Georgia's YSL trial.

Previously, since I started freelancing full-time in 2010, my music reporting and cultural criticism appeared in Allure, Atlanta magazine, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Billboard, The Bitter Southerner, GQ, The Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and The Washington Post.

In 2014, “Straight Outta Stankonia”—the Creative Loafing cover story co-written by Rodney Carmichael, Gavin Godfrey, and me—was voted the Atlanta Press Club’s Top 10 Favorite Stories of the Past 50 Years.

From 2020 to 2023, I was a contributor to All Songs Considered, NPR Music's flagship music podcast, frequently chiming in on the show's New Music Friday segment.

From 2022 to 2024, I was an editor at Canopy Atlanta, where the primary goals were to train metro Atlanta residents as editorial fellows, and produce all types of community journalism: feature writing, of course, but also oral histories, reported essays, social media features, and even a mini documentary.

I've also used my skills to create branded content with an authentic voice. In 2019 I was a columnist at the Daily, the official editorial arm of Red Bull Music Academy, and a contributor to Red Bull Radio, producing and conducting interviews with Big Boi, Big K.R.I.T, The-Dream, Zaytoven, and others. Other, more recent clients include Bandcamp, Microsoft, the Recording Academy, and Volvo.
