I’m Leo Hornak, an award-winning audio journalist, editor, and reporter.

As an executive producer, I launched and led the The Times of London’s flagship daily news podcast.
As a producer and reporter, I’ve made audio documentaries for some of the best-loved shows and broadcasters in the world, including This American Life and the BBC.

I also run Ictus Media, an independent production house for developing new and innovative podcasts and radio shows. Our most recent productions have included acclaimed documentaries for BBC World Service and BBC Radio 3.

Amazing, personal stories are at the heart of everything I do.
