Early Risers
Minnesota Public Radio

My Role: Senior Producer

Early Risers is an interview podcast from Minnesota Public Radio that offers guidance to parents and caregivers on how to talk with very young children about race and racism.

I led and executed all aspects of podcast production with a focus on elevating the podcast’s audio quality and production value as well as experimenting with a special in-depth series highlighting the lived experiences of parents across Minnesota. I helped a new host to develop her voice by writing scripts that reflected her conversational style and POV. I booked and prepped interviews with national and regional experts and edited and scored episodes in Pro Tools. I also produced live events as well as an hour-long public radio broadcast special that aired in 100+ stations across the United States.
