River Donaghey is a writer and filmmaker based in New York CITY.

River is the host of investigative true crime podcast Good Cult, about his life growing up inside a New Age self-help cult, and co-creator of the animated series Tattoo Cartoo.

River has raced horses in Guatemala as a documentary host, produced a podcast about drug-smuggling rockclimbers, and appeared on WNYC’s On the Media and NPR’s All Things Considered.

A Japanese fashion magazine once called him a "promising novice." That may have been an insult.

He is currently Editorial Director at Overheard.
