Desperate For Attention Podcast

In May 2024, I co-created and co-host a pop-culture podcast with writer Chris Payne (Billboard, Vulture) that lovingly dissects the current state of music, revisits delicious water-cooler moments from the early aughts, and examines the life and times of the scene’s biggest bands.

Then, on Dec. 2, 2024, we released our first episode, “Inside The 2025 Return Of Panic! At The Disco,” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon Music.
