I run Drilled, an award-winning, multi-media global climate accountability newsroom, and am the founder and executive producer of Critical Frequency, an independent podcast production company focused on reported narrative audio. I'm also an investigative reporter who has contributed to The Guardian, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, NPR, and many other outlets. In 2007, I won a Folio for my feature on the potential of algae as a feedstock for biofuel. In 2015 I was awarded a Rachel Carson award for "women greening journalism", and in 2016 I won an Edward R. Murrow award for my series on the impacts of the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada. In 2023 I was named a Covering Climate Now "Journalist of the Year." As the head of Critical Frequency, I have executive produced more than a dozen podcasts, winning the 2019 Online News Association award for "Excellence in Audio Storytelling", the 2021 and 2023 Covering Climate Now awards for best podcast, the iHeart Radio "Best Green Podcast" award, the Wilbur Award for religion reporting (for Unfinished: Short Creek, a co-production with Stitcher), and a 2022 Peabody nomination (for s2 of This Land, which we produced for Crooked Media). My first book Forget Having It All: How America Messed Up Motherhood, and How to Fix It was published in November 2018 by Seal Press, and received a starred Publisher's Weekly review. My second book, Brought To You By: How Corporations Warped the Truth, Conned the Public, and Broke Democracy is forthcoming September 2026 from Bloomsbury.
