About Claire
My passion for broadcasting began as a music DJ at Georgia State University's 100,000 watt WRAS FM/Album 88 and has continued through my most recent work creating my own podcast THE DIFFERENCE ATL from soup to nuts and as a freelance podcast producer for BirdNote and Making Contact and field producer for Vice News Reports, NBC's Into America, The Intercept, Slate, Morgan Stanley and more. I previously served as senior producer for the daily, one-hour arts and culture program “City Lights with Lois Reitzes” at WABE 90.1 FM (NPR Atlanta). During my time in California, I was a host of the daily “KHSU Magazine” and producer of Native American features for “Along the River” at KHSU-FM (NPR Humboldt State University in Arcata). I also spent ten years as a documentary and television series producer, director and editor at PBS North Coast/KEET-TV in Eureka, California.
As a radio and television journalist I have become skilled at tapping into the power of storytelling through thorough research and thoughtfully crafted interviews for radio, television, online and print outlets. I have envisioned and crafted radio and television content which provides enlightening information on topics such as: efforts to reduce racial profiling of Native Americans, the establishment and restoration of Redwood National Park, the contributions of Native American WWII veterans, swing bands in WWII Japanese-American incarceration camps, methamphetamine addiction and recovery, Alzheimer’s disease, renewable energy and sustainable agriculture. I am curious by nature and truly enjoy learning about a variety of subjects. I believe that desire to cultivate understanding shines through in the content of my work.
Claire's Portfolio
THE DIFFERENCE ATL is my own podcast, which is in development. For this pilot episode, I researched urban farming in Atlanta, recorded field and zoom interviews, wrote the script and edited the piece in Adobe Audition. I also commissioned original music and wrote the grant that paid for it.
