Who The Heck Am I

Hi! My name’s Clare, and I’m an audio producer, reporter and host based in Edmonton.

My passion is telling stories that don’t fit in a box and playing with sound; whether it’s using sports to talk about sound or giving life to spaces and places. I’ve been known to go the distance for a great story.

I’ve worked with the CBC in Edmonton, Thunder Bay, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Hamilton, as well as with CTV Winnipeg, CKCU-FM in Ottawa, CKHC in Toronto and the FIR Podcast Network. I’ve also spent time out of the newsroom working in parks and natural resources in Ontario And Newfoundland — and I’ve fallen in love with every community along the way.

Right now I’m the Digital Associate Producer for CBC’s Radio Active and regular podcast columnist for CBC Edmonton and CBC Calgary. 

I’m the host and producer of This is Edmonton, a weekly hyperlocal podcast (formerly The Loop). And worked as a producer on both CBC Edmonton original podcasts Slumtown and World On Fire, as well as the National CBC News podcast See You In Court (one of Apple Podcast’s Best Podcasts of 2025, and a Silver Tower Award Winner at the 2026 New York Festivals Radio Awards). 

I’ve produced for CBC’s national show Now Or Never, and in 2023 I was proud to host and produce Music We Love to Hate, a national radio special all about music and psychology.

I am a sessional instructor at MacEwan University in Edmonton, teaching Radio News and Documentaries and mentoring young journalists passionate about sound.
