Host: Christian Taylor

Christian Taylor has spent four decades in the entertainment industry as a voice actor, casting director, producer, and on-camera talent—but it was an unexpected encounter in Normandy while accompanying her son's Army unit to a D-Day commemoration that changed everything. That trip became the spark for her directorial debut, The Girl Who Wore Freedom, which has earned over 25 international awards. She stepped into the director's chair midlife, but she brought a lifetime of industry experience with her when she did. Now Christian hosts the Documentary First Podcast, where she's spent 200+ episodes talking craft, business, and survival with documentary filmmakers at every level—drawing on over a decade of podcast hosting experience. Up next: Heroes of Carentan, continuing her commitment to preserving stories of service, sacrifice, and freedom.
