About Tania
I’m a New York-based podcast producer and storyteller with 15+ years of experience in media production, content development, marketing, and events. My work includes award-winning projects such as “Undiscarded: Stories of New York,” for the City Reliquary Museum in Brooklyn, which earned a Signal Award, an Anthem Award, and a Webby nomination. Other projects include "Karachi Nights” (Official 2025 Tribeca Creators Market Selection). I am also a producer for Urbanist Media's Juneteenth shorts, for Cinicienti Public Radio, a winner of the "2025 Public Education and Awareness Award" from the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office.
I specialize in concept development, research, guest booking/brainstorming, grassroots promotion, and helping people shape compelling stories for audio. My realm is indie podcasts and obscure archives. If you've got a nagging story-inch to scratch or a weird tale that you can't ignore, I am your girl. Deep-diving, archival research, and elusive guest-snagging are my superpowers. I’ve worked across both media and nonprofit spaces, and particularly enjoy building community-centered, history-driven, and culturally rich projects from the ground up.
Tania's Portfolio
Cincinnati Public Radio's partnership with Urbanist Media‘s Urban Roots podcast to celebrate Juneteenth by honoring local black stories. The Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts are weekly 90-second tributes to black people and places important to the region’s history of freedom. In 2025 the collaboration won the Public Education & Awareness Award from the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office.
In this mini-documentary, you’ll learn about Julia Jacob’s remarkable life from her early years in the Old Man House to her time at an Indian Boarding School. She was an adopted black woman who was adopted and raised in the Suquamish tribe. Through the words and work of her descendant, Suquamish tribal elder and master basket weaver Ed Eugene Carriere, the film reveals how Julia’s life became a vessel for Indigenous traditions that might otherwise have been lost. Urbanist Media produced this video for BlackPast.org. This program was made possible in part by a grant from the Suquamish Tribe and the Suquamish Foundation.

It has been featured on Untapped New York, Apple Podcasts New & Noteworthy, and is the recipient of several awards (Signal, Anthem & Webby Nomination).
Responsibilities: Episode development and narrative story arcs, onsite production, archival blogs, guest recruitment/interviews, and marketing & outreach collaborations.

Official Selection for the 2025 Tribeca Creators Market for Audio Storytelling. The pilot episode was also featured in the inaugural season of “Pitch Party” presented by Resonate Podcast Festival and Tink Media. Step into a time when Karachi was more than just a city—it was a state of mind. Before air pollution, gang violence, and religious conservatism clouded its skyline, Karachi sparkled as a model of a post-colonial city. In the swinging 60s and early 70s, it was a place where everyone was someone, and the nightlife was groovy. Bands like The Panthers, The Bugs, and The Abstracts ruled the night at clubs where Parsis, Christians, elite Muslim kids, Foreigners, and local dreamers mixed. Sadly, this glamorous era faded into memory once the sale of alcohol & nightclubs was banned in the late 70s, as an authoritarian regime came to power and as the country's politics gradually became more conservative.
Our project is a journey to uncover what happened to those who once illuminated Karachi's nights and tie it to the resurgence of music today.
