audio storyteller / producer / “podcaster” (whatever that means)
hi, i’m julie.
i like to make audio stories. from dramas to documentaries, my favorite way to tell stories is through sound. i love stories about unique characters, complicated choices, and things that aren’t always what they seem.
My audio work has appeared on BBC Radio 4, Minnesota Public Radio, KFAI 90.3 FM, and many other outlets. I currently produce the Moth StorySLAM for the Twin Cities and edit the award-winning MinneCulture podcast. I was a 2023 Finalist for Best New Artist at the Third Coast International Audio Festival for my audio documentary, Old Tapes. I have also worked as a field producer, production manager, and line producer on multiple Emmy-winning productions for Twin Cities PBS.
Sometimes, I do improv (and live tech for improv shows). One time, I helped start a fully operational FM community radio station from scratch. Most of the time, I’m just walking around my neighborhood listening to podcasts.
I live in south Minneapolis with my really good cat. Her name is Bird, thanks for asking.
