Marysabel's Experience

I’m a passionate content producer, writer, editor, and podcaster with expertise in music. While at CNN, I produced their entertainment and music podcast, Zona Pop CNN, and a daily entertainment radio segment called “Entretenimiento Pop.” As a podcast producer, I was tasked to design the audio ambiance to achieve the storytelling tone of each episode. I also post-produced four different podcasts for that network. Regarding video, I produced my own stories that aired on linear TV, digital, and social media. My style relies heavily on storytelling with little to no self-involvement in the narrative. I allow the artist to tell their story. My expertise in music journalism led me to achieve a dual membership with the Recording Academy and the Latin Recording Academy.
