Lost History: Ground Zero Flag
WRITER, PRODUCER
I wrote and produced several segments for the History Channel series Brad Meltzer’s Lost History, hosted by the best-selling nonfiction author himself. This one focuses on the disappearance of the iconic flag flown at Ground Zero on September 11th (which was located not long after the episode first aired).
Stalked: Cruel Intentions
WRITER, SUPERVISING STORY PRODUCER
I wrote this episode of Investigation Discovery’s recreation-based true crime hit “Stalked: Someone’s Watching” while also acting as supervising story producer for the fourth season. “Stalked” was a ratings powerhouse for Discovery, typically drawing a 1.15 rating and about .90 in the demo.
This clip presents the climax of the tragic story of Christen Naujoks and her obsessed, psychotic ex-boyfriend John Peck.
CNN: Early Start
LEAD WRITER, COPY EDITOR
For CNN’s first show of the domestic schedule, I write the lead stories and copy edit all scripts and banners (aka lower-thirds) for punch, clarity, accuracy, and compliance with CNN standards and practices.
Real World: L.A.
PRODUCING EDITOR
My big break into long-form television was getting hired as a producing editor (or “preditor,” in Hollywood parlance) for an episode from season two of The Real World. It was a great gig, and opened my eyes to whole new worlds of story-telling techniques. In this clip, housemates try to figure out what to do about Glenn and the ever-present members of his band, Perch.
Road Rules: Pilot
PRODUCING EDITOR
This may be the world’s only opportunity to see any of the pilot that sold Road Rules to MTV, “predited” by yours truly. The network recast the show before the first season began, and thus the pilot never aired.
Rain of Ruin
PRODUCER, FIELD PRODUCER, WRITER, RESEARCHER
This is a clip from my documentary on the development of the Atomic Bomb, which earned History Channel its first CableACE nomination (a big deal at the time). It features a recreation we shot at the Air Force museum in Dayton, seamlessly integrated with archival footage. (Note the lovely hand close-ups—they’re mine.)
Sweetheart Swindlers
PRODUCER, FIELD PRODUCER, WRITER
For Discovery, I wrote, produced and directed this one-hour true crime sweeps tent-pole on romance con artists. Our tag line was, “First they steal your heart, then they steal your wallet.” In this short clip, one of our victims explains how she pried a rental car away from the charmer who suckered her for thousands.
Fire Island
PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, CAMERA
Britain’s Channel 4 commissioned a four-part verité-style documentary on the lives and loves of two households—one lesbian, another gay male—in the world-famous gay resort community of Fire Island Pines, New York. I directed and produced in the men’s household—and also served as camera operator and story editor. 
The show earned a 1.1 rating/10 share during its Summer ’99 run in England, narrated by Stephen Fry. It aired in the U.S. on Bravo in the Summer of 2000, without the Fry narration.
History’s Lost & Found: Oliver Cromwell’s Head
PRODUCER, FIELD PRODUCER, WRITER, RESEARCHER
This brief clip from my episode of History’s Lost & Found concerns the long and convoluted tale of the head of England’s head of state. Narrated with dry humor by Edward Herrmann. The three animations in this clip were all created by me in After Effects.
Speedvision Aviation Preview Show
PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, WRITER
When Speedvision, the car-boat-plane channel, launched in 1996, they wanted a hosted half-hour show that would introduce their line-up of aviation programming. I wrote, produced, and directed the program, which we received unprecedented permission to shoot at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
Wings Over Europe
PRODUCER, WRITER, RESEARCHER
This show covering all of WWII European Aviation in one hour (whew!) was originally developed as a companion home video for a CD-ROM (remember those?). But it came out so well that Discovery asked us to adapt it for television.
Historic Traveler: Gold Rush Country
WRITER, RESEARCHER
I wrote 14 episodes of the travelog-cum-history series Historic Traveler for the Travel Channel. In this brief clip, we journey to Sutter’s Mill on the Sacramento River for the earth-shaking discovery in 1849 of (gasp) GOLD!
Old Homes Restored: Eureka Victorian
PRODUCER, FIELD PRODUCER, WRITER
For the HGTV series Old Homes Restored, I traveled to the incredibly picturesque town of Eureka, on California’s far northern coast. There I produced this segment on the incredible lengths a married couple went to for a perfectly authentic restoration of their old Victorian.
In the Life: Millennium March

This is a clip from an 11-minute magazine segment I reported and produced for the public television gay-interest show In the Life, on the massive Millennium March on Washington in 2000, and all the related behind-the-scenes mischief.
Whatever Happened to the Flying Boats?
CONCEPT, DESIGN, ANIMATION
I created this thirty-second multi-layer animated show open in Adobe After Effects for the Wingspan Network (later acquired by Discovery).
Straight Up!
CONCEPT, DESIGN, MODELING, ANIMATION
This show open is a one minute 3D animation that features a drafting table strewn with drafting tools (modeled by me) and ‘magazine clippings’ that display rolling video, executed in Infini-D back in the dark ages (1996) when this was something of an achievement.
Now I’m Here
NARRATION
I narrated this literary coming-of-age novel written by journalism colleague and friend Jim Provenzano. So far, it’s my proudest accomplishment as a voice actor.
Puppy Love
NARRATOR
I narrated this gay rom-com by Chris Cole under the pseudonym Scott Paige (my first on-air name as a TV reporter in the ’80s in Wyoming).
Those Who Favor Fire
NARRATOR
This romance/thriller was narrated under my genre fiction pseudonym, Scott Paige.
Effective Leadership Skills for Managers
NARRATOR
The first audiobook I narrated was this business leadership handbook. I used my non-fiction pseudonym, Kevin G. Hunter (which happens to be my birth name… long story).
SiriusXM OutQ News
ANCHOR, EDITOR, WRITER
For nearly a decade, I was the voice of short top-of-the-hour radio newscasts for a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender audience. This is a typical four-minute newscast, which I edited, produced, and anchored. Between April 2003, when I put OutQ News on the air for SiriusXM, and October 2012, I anchored more than 12,000 such hourlies.
OutQ Edited Q&A:
Just How Many Gays Are There?
HOST, EDITOR, WRITER
2010 was the second U.S. census to count same-sex couples after the advent of gay marriage, which allowed further refinement to the demographic estimate of the percentage of LGBT people in the population. For OutQ’s 2011 Year in Review special, I spoke with Gary Gates, the researcher who did by far the most public work in this area.
OutQ Produced Field Story: 9/11 Hero
PRODUCER, REPORTER, EDITOR
For OutQ’s special on the tenth anniversary of September 11th, I traveled to California to interview, Alice Hoagland, the mother of Mark Bingham, one of the heroes who brought down United Flight 93. This intimate 11-minute segment recorded in her home also focuses on the handsome and charismatic Bingham’s avid promotion of rugby within the gay community and the remarkable bond Bingham and his mother shared. Alice died in December, 2020.
OutQ Year-in-Review Special: ‘Scripted’ Ad Lib
HOST, EDITOR
OutQ’s ‘Year-in-Review’ specials gave me an annual two-hour opportunity to use my skill at ad libbing from notes. In this clip from our 2011 show, I cover advances in the criminal trial of two Rutgers University students charged with spying via webcam on a gay classmate’s sexual encounter with a man.
OutQ Live Coverage: Marriage Equality Comes to New York
HOST, EDITOR
Some OutQ specials were event-driven live coverage, like our two-hour show on the Saturday in July 2011 that same-sex marriage dawned in New York State. I anchored from our studios in Times Square, while OutQ’s Xorje Olivares reported from the city clerk’s office downtown, where hundreds of eager gay and lesbian couples lined up to be among the first in the state to marry.

WRITER
CNN.com’s travel vertical commissioned me to write this first-person narrative of the astonishing round-the-world journey launched when I took a simple 23andMe DNA test.

REPORTER, WRITER
My first foray into online/print journalism was this 1,600 word reported story on the debate over the effectiveness of boycotts against companies with pro- or anti-gay policies.
Saratoga: Something More at Stake
WRITER
This Burns-style documentary replaced the lifeless old film that visitors to Saratoga National Historical Park had been watching since the 1970s. The Park Service required even more rigorous research than a typical cable history doc, including detailed footnotes. It won a Classic Telly Award, the premiere competition for non-broadcast productions.
Deering Bay: Preserving a Proud Legacy
WRITER
This brief clip is from a 1997 promotional video for a then-new luxury real estate development in South Florida.
This video won a Gold PRISM Award in Marketing from the Gold Coast Builders Association.
