For about two years, I was the writer and host of a science education podcast published by Macmillan called Everyday Einstein (since rebranded as Ask Science).
The podcast was regularly in the top 10 K-12 educational podcasts on what is now Apple Podcasts. Podchaser contains a list of all of the episodes I wrote and hosted.
Transcripts of some episodes were featured in Scientific American:
