CEO and Chief Creative Officer

I am a Studio Head. Director. Editor. Writer. Producer. Creator.  

I have an unquenchable thirst for fresh, original stories and the people behind them.  
The crunching sound of a boot on the hard dirt.  A single tear from an unexpected revelation.  The twang of laughter from a busy diner.  I transport millions of people to places they've never been, forging friendships with those who were once strangers.  Our world is moving faster than ever.  If we do not tell these stories, they are bound to be lost forever.


This is my story.  This is our story.

Futurology

About

The future never arrives all at once. It ripples through society long before we know what to call it.

At the Berggruen Institute, we know we need more than prediction—we need invention. Each week, Institute President Dawn Nakagawa introduces scientists and philosophers recalibrating our cosmologies, technologists coming to terms with alien intelligence, and policymakers designing systems for a world in flux.

Join thinkers and doers from the Berggruen‑verse as we imagine a future we can accomplish together, instead of one we’re working to prevent.

The Redefector

About

It was 1985, the so-called “Year of the Spy”. The CIA had been losing Soviet assets left and right; the first loss seemed like bad luck, but four in a row? That wasn't coincidence — it was a deadly leak.

How It All Went South

About

Sean Kipe and Jason Hoch have been making podcasts together for a while now and decided to make ‘How It All Went South’ because they realized they had collected so many stories between them over the years.

What do Sean and Jason talk about on How It All Went South? How about renting a hitman (from a man named Guido), 1930s gangsters, runaway brides, lottery winners with totally bad luck, an eye drop killer, duck sauce killer, memory card killer, and unsolved cases. They talk about psychics, body builders, shootouts, trailer park massacres and SOOOO much more.

The Deadly Seven

About

Host Ashley Willcott is known as a tv anchor, a former judge, and a trial lawyer, and nearly all of the cases she's covered over the years intersect with one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. The opposite of the seven heavenly virtues.

These are THE REASONS why criminals commit crimes. This is a chance for us to figure out that WHY.
