I started making radio and podcasts in 2013 while working as an intern for KUOW Public Radio. For two years, I cut tape for the midday talk show “The Record” and learned everything I could about engineering in-studio conversations, the art of interviewing, operating a sound board, and splicing recordings in Adobe Audition. I fell in love with audio storytelling as a medium, and created an independent radio documentary about reproductive health.
After a second internship at KNKX Public Radio, I started freelance producing for NPR programs like WHYY’s The Pulse and earned a full-time gig as Yellowstone Public Radio’s All Things Considered host and sold a series to KEXP called Day Job. With years of professional broadcast and digital audio production under my belt, I created Brie Ripley Podcast Consulting in 2014 and have helped many indie podcasters produce and market their own shows.
