Hi, I'm Pete.

I am a reporter, audio producer, and writer. My work has been heard on NPR, BBC, APM, Radiolab, This American Life, and radio stations around the world.

I've been interviewed about my work by Foreign Policy, BBC, and was reviewed in The Guardian. 

If you're looking for a place to start, listen to Fu-Go, an episode I reported for Radiolab about Japanese balloon bombs during WWII. Or listen to Pig-Pen, an audio documentary for BBC about trying to piece together my father's clandestine work in the CIA. That piece was a finalist for best documentary at Third Coast Audio Festival in 2018.

Previously, I was a managing producer at VICE Audio, where I made narrative nonfiction podcasts. I made Source Material, an experimental found footage series, and A Show About Animals, a nine-part podcast about Koko the gorilla and whether she really knew sign language.  For my reporting on that story I won the 2022 AAAS Kavli Award for Science Journalism.

I teach audio journalism at the Salt Documentary Studies Program at the Maine College of Art. Before that, I ran a film & podcast production company called Light Fighter.

I grew up in McLean, Virginia and Munich, Germany. I've also lived in Holland and Jamaica.

I now live in Portland, Maine.
