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
Rachel grew up in Indiana and is now a sophomore at Stanford. She likes art, dolphins, books, people, and big dinners on Sunday night. She appreciates suggestions on how to combine these interests into a major.


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."
