John Myers

John fell in love with audio when he got his first cassette recorder at age 7. In college, he learned to edit by cutting tape with a razor blade; and eventually became a ProTools master. John sharpened his journalistic skills as a producer for NPR’s Fresh Air With Terry Gross. He later joined the small team recruited to develop original programming for Audible. His work has been heard on Weekend Edition, in the Whitney Museum and at the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site. John has taught radio production at the university level and is currently the producer of NPR’s World Cafe, where he’s worked on interviews with Lizzo, Willie Nelson and Run the Jewels. His favorite gig of all time is still the couple of years he spent as a roadie for the band Huffamoose in the late 90’s.
