Producers
Charlie Mintz
| Charlie is a sophomore at Stanford and a connoisseur of all things refined and tasteful. He hopes to one day be a disembodied voice on the radio or semi-famous. |
Rachel Hamburg

Assistant Producers
Daniel Hirsch
| Dan is a junior minoring in Creative Writing with a major in American Studies, but don't ask him about the Civil War. It just makes him grumpy. One time in his native state of Massachusetts, he told a ghost story in his friend's tree house to much acclaim. He also likes ice cream. |
Hannah Krakauer
| Hannah is a sophomore majoring in Religious Studies at Stanford. She likes tea parties, baking bread, Post-It notes, documentary photography, and the satisfaction of having a completely empty desk. She rarely gets to enjoy the latter. |
Matt Larson
| Matt graduated from The Ohio State University in 2004 and is now a PhD student in the Stanford Biophysics program. He divides his time between his basement research lab and the basement of KZSU, where he is the host of a music show called The Ground State. His best personal story revolves around a burst appendix and high school prom. |
Arielle Lasky
| Arielle is a senior at Stanford, studying neurobiology and bioethics. She enjoys running, mastering public transportation systems (so far: Chicago, SF, NYC, DC, and the Marguerite), and taking hypothetical situations very seriously. Previously, she has interned at Radio Lab, followed around the Kitchen Sisters, and attended the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. |
Daniel MacDougall
| Daniel is a computer science major and sophomore at Stanford. He is also a member of the Stanford Savoyards. When not making radio you may find him enjoying wacky musical theater, cooking delicious and exotic foods, or playing Scrabble. He was once described as "a perfectly goofy but lovable book-wormish adventurer." |
Editors
| Lee is a Ph.D. candidate in the English Department. He is working on a dissertation called "Wipe That Smirk off Your Face: Postironic Fiction and the Public Sphere," a study of writers who have tried to overcome what they see as the all-encompassing irony, cynicism, and detachment of contemporary culture. His first novel, Pop Apocalypse, will be published in 2009 by Simon & Schuster. Visit his website Here |
Noah Burbank, Music
