Audio Drama
The Way We Haunt Now
Written, directed, and produced by Courtney (with cowriting in season 2-3 by Georgia Mckenzie and sound design by Brad Colbroock), The Way We Haunt Now is a lighthearted horror audio drama about friendship, found family, and fighting the narratives that try to define us––even in the afterlife. Oh, and ghosts. Did I mention ghosts?

Academic & Popular History Podcasts
Victorian Scribblers
Courtney started podcasting in 2017 with the launch of Victorian Scribblers, a biography and literature podcast about the lives of the nineteenth-century writers time forgot. Co-hosted by Dr. Eleanor Dumbill, a specialist in Victorian literature and publishing, Victorian Scribblers stopped airing in its fourth season.
Lit Slashing
A micro-podcast featuring history’s most notorious bad, backhanded, & brutal reviews of literary classics. Co-hosted by Dr. Eleanor Dumbill. Yes, it’s technically a Victorian Scribblers spinoff, but you don’t have to listen to VS to enjoy these teardowns.
