Hi, I’m Alex. I’ve spent the last 10 years producing nationally-syndicated public radio news programs and podcasts, with a particular focus on the opioid crisis, gender issues, #MeToo, and the arts. After 3 years at the NPR program The Diane Rehm Show, I came to New York where I went from line producer to senior producer at the WNYC/PRI program The Takeaway. I went on to lead audio for Axios, where I ran the popular daily news podcast Axios Today for 2.5 years, before launching and producing the weekly interview show 1 big thing.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces to work on from the last few years.
