About John

Since 2017, I’ve been a producer for NPR's World Cafe, which is produced by WXPN at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Before that I spent almost eight years as a producer for Fresh Air with Terry Gross. I have worked extensively as a freelance producer for clients including the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, The Association for Public Art and NPR. I’ve taught radio production to preschoolers and college students and, in the late 90's, I spent a couple of years traveling around the country as a roadie for the rock band Huffamoose.

Wilco's Jeff Tweedy Shares Stories From His New Memoir

On the night Jeff Tweedy was set to visit the Free Library of Philadelphia to talk about his new memoir, Let's Go (So We Can Get Back), in front of an audience of fans, the first snow storm of the season had caught the city off guard. Call it a kind coincidence that Tweedy's latest solo album is named Warm. Tweedy talks about some of the stories from his book, including the complicated relationships he had with bandmates Jay Farrar in Uncle Tupelo and Jay Bennett in Wilco, his struggle to kick opioid addiction, and the conversations he had with his wife about how much of all of his stories to actually commit to paper.
