A 7-part series made for CBC Podcasts by Novel. Come By Chance is the shocking true story of two co-workers who find out they were born on the same day, the same year, in the same hospital. Set in rural Newfoundland.
Reached Top 25 in the U.S. charts (#3 in Society & Culture); and #1 in Canada.
I served as writer, host, and lead producer on the series, part of an amazing international team from Canada and the UK, including Jo Wheeler, Madeleine Parr, Rebecca Nolan, Veronica Simmonds, Daemon Fairless, and Willow Smith.
