Hello, I'm Josh. I'm a theatre director, podcast host, audio/video editor, writer, software trainer, occasional web developer, and New Yorker. Here's some things about me:
Since 2021, I've cohosted The Worst of All Possible Worlds, a podcast about media narratives and how they shape the world we live in. It releases every Wednesday and currently has about 1,800 subscribers on Patreon; I'm very proud of it. Here's links to a few episodes I'm particularly proud of if you'd like to have a listen for yourself:
You can also listen to guest appearances I've made on a number of other podcasts, including:
Since 2024, I've cohosted a Twitch stream called Traditional Scrench on Mondays and Thursdays from 4pm-6pm ET. We mostly watch YouTube videos and hoot and holler. Sometimes we do fundraising streams; in December we raised over $8,000 in direct aid to Palestinian families in Gaza.
In February 2025, I will be directing a play titled My Brother Jake by Dave Osmundsen. The play is about two autistic brothers, both of whom are pursuing a life in the arts. I'm both humbled and excited to direct this play and we are currently raising money to capitalize the production.
From 2016 to 2017, I was a founding member and producing artistic director of Decent Company, a group of theatrical writer-performers that produced a bimonthly showcase of new work. We produced seven shows over the course of fourteen months, showcasing the work of 25 different writer-performers.
In 2018, I saw a MTA worker laying down a strip of yellow paint on a subway platform during rush hour and posted about it on Twitter. I ended up getting interviewed on the news about it.
Outside of my creative work, I have over six years of experience as a software trainer, having facilitated group training sessions and developed interactive curricula for:
Other interests of mine include electronic music, skiing, Star Trek, political theory, immersive sims, and the New York Mets.
