Uncovering Stories, Sharing Truth
Hi, I'm Brad Koszo — a multimedia journalist and cultural critic based in Burbank, CA.
I'm driven by a belief that good journalism should challenge, inform, and connect us. My work explores the intersection of politics, public education, and pop culture — topics I approach with a thoughtful, center-left perspective and an eye for honest critique.
With years of experience writing about film and media trends, hosting my own podcast, and covering stories that impact classrooms and communities, I aim to spark conversations that matter. I have an extensive knowledge of cinema history and the ways pop culture shapes how we see the world — and I bring that lens to everything I create.
Take a look around: here you'll find my essays, podcast episodes, and critical takes on the stories that deserve more than a headline. If you believe in media that cares about truth, better schools, and telling it like it is — I'd love to connect.
"Showcasing my Journalism Journey"
As a Multimedia Journalist, I specialize in delivering top-quality journalism across various platforms, from print to digital media. I create compelling, informative content designed to engage and captivate diverse audiences. Based in California, I am committed to showcasing the best of the West — and beyond — through powerful storytelling, cultural insight, and multimedia reporting.
1. Writing
I specialize in writing that informs, engages, and sparks conversation. From in-depth journalism and entertainment analysis to cultural essays and human-interest stories, my work reflects a commitment to storytelling that connects with diverse audiences.
With a background in journalism, podcasting, and content creation, I bring a critical yet accessible voice to the topics I cover—whether it's exploring the nuances of film and pop culture, reporting on local communities, or crafting narratives that bridge cultures and perspectives.
My writing has been featured in podcasts, digital media, and online publications, blending research, empathy, and creativity. I believe that great writing is not just about telling stories—it's about helping readers see the world through a new lens.
2. Editing
From concept to final cut, I bring stories to life through thoughtful, detail-oriented digital editing. My editing work spans audio and video projects, including podcasts, interviews, narrative storytelling, and multimedia content.
I am skilled in using industry-standard tools, including Final Cut Pro, GarageBand, and Audacity, to ensure clean, polished, and professional results. Whether it's refining the pacing of a film discussion, enhancing audio for a podcast episode, or crafting dynamic video content for social media and digital platforms, I approach every project with a creative eye and an ear for detail.
My editing philosophy is centered on clarity, rhythm, and impact, always prioritizing the story and the audience experience. I collaborate closely with creators, producers, and brands to help shape their vision and ensure every piece of content is engaging, accessible, and production-ready.
3. Photography
I bring a timeless perspective to photography, blending classic techniques with a creative eye for contrast and storytelling. Trained in traditional film development and darkroom processing, I have a deep appreciation for the art and craft of analog photography.
My personal work often focuses on black and white imagery, where I explore the richness of texture, light, and shadow. I especially enjoy creating vintage-style photographs with bold contrasts, grain, and carefully selected filters that evoke a sense of nostalgia and mood.
Whether working with 35mm film or developing in the darkroom, I aim to capture authentic moments and timeless stories that transcend trends.
