What I cover
If it’s related to arts, culture and entertainment in L.A., I’m interested! I'm also a producer for the LAist podcast Imperfect Paradise, which dives deep into L.A. stories with LAist reporters.
My background
I’ve worked on LAist podcasts including Nobody Knows Anything, How To LA, The Academy Museum Podcast (seasons 1 and 2), Retake and Hollywood the Sequel. I got my start at LAist on the broadcast side, as a producer on Take Two, The Frame and newscasts. Before coming to LAist, I was a fill-in producer for NPR shows like Talk of the Nation and Morning Edition. I got my start in public radio producing radio documentaries for America Abroad Media.
My goals
I want to pull back the curtain on the creative processes of super-talented people who work in film, TV, comedy, music, theater, literature and visual art — and share interesting L.A. stories that hopefully include some element of fun.
Best way to contact me
I would love to hear from you if you have any questions about LAist's arts and entertainment coverage or if you have any tips on things we should check out! You can reach me at mbushman@laist.com.
