Hi! I’m Buffy Gorrilla, an Emmy- and Peabody-nominated audio journalist and independent producer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have a wide range of interests, including sports, culture, health, and religion. Should I go on? Thanks for stopping by!
My work has featured in NPR, WHYY, The Pulse, The Los Angeles Times, Australian Broadcasting Corporation and The Age.
My niche is sports. I am currently the Lead Producer for “Flagrant and Funny with Cari Champion and Jemele Hill“, a full video and audio podcast. Prior to this, I served as the Senior Producer for “Netflix’s Sports Club Podcast”. I also worked at ESPN on the Emmy-nominated series “Invisible” and was involved in producing and co-reporting “Spiraled”, a six-part investigative series in collaboration with Sports Illustrated Studios. Additionally, I was the supervising producer for both seasons of HBO Max’s “Hard Knocks Podcast“.
I was the lead producer on “Philadelphia Eagles: Return Game”. I thoroughly explored the storied rivalry in “Birds, Boys, and Bad Blood,” and I had extensive discussions with the last gentleman coach, Coach Vermeil, featured in “Return Game.”
I help people launch podcasts. My current projects include “Take on Board“, a weekly podcast focused on helping women achieve their goal of securing a place at the board table. “Lead to Soar“ is a resource for career women and their allies.
I produced the Peabody-nominated series “Half Vaxxed: The Rise and Fall of Philly Fighting COVID“. I worked as a producer at “The Why” from WHYY.
I created a Spotify playlist featuring some of my favorite episodes that I’ve produced.
I completed Transom’s Story Mentorship – a six-week storytelling extravaganza.
Have a look around. If you have a great story and need help getting it out there, I would love to hear from you!
Thanks for stopping by!
