I've been producing podcast and audio stories for 5 years, working on both story production and running the company from developing new shows to securing deals with partners.I'd love to take on opportunities to continue working on narrative-style shows but I'm open to do individualized tasks, such as field reporting/producing, fact checking, editing, producing, scoring, hosting, concept and development or mentoring.

About Tanita
Hey! I'm Tanita, an audio producer and journalist based in New York City.
I've recently produced and reported narrative shows from Campside Media. One about an elusive hypnotist and another about the oddballs of history and science history. In the past, among others, I've also produced, edit and co-host a narrative series about overlooked stories from Indonesia including the strange, inter-continental story of how instant noodles define the Indonesian diet.
I've had a few notable rejections. One was from Snap Judgement, where I was at the last interview/ pitching stage. Another was from an American family who has been donating a large amount of indigenous Indonesian art for the MET Museum, I've been trying to reach out for an interview with them for over a year now.
I'd love to get my hands dirtier in narrative pieces and to have more opportunities to train my pitching muscle. You can find me rambling about my process of making audio stories from nuts to soup via my newsletter. Or even better, say hi to me at your local mosque (I hop around but I regularly go to the IC at NYU).
Before all of this, I was a lawyer and teaching international law to undergraduates.
Tanita's Portfolio
A Mind/body Affair is a piece about the times when the mind and body are connected and not so connected. This is a one-off piece where I pitch, report, edit and score independently.
Writer Audrey Watters talks about the history’s attempts to automate the classroom and the psychologists that tried to remove emotions from education. A Campside Media & Sony Music Entertainment production. This is an interview style episode that I produced.
Coming from two generations of high ranking military leaders, Dimas grew up wanting nothing else than to become a soldier too. But it was only when Dimas moved to Hawaii in the late 1990s that he unexpectedly found a way to channel his patriotic side.
In this episode, we follow a story of Dimas who wound up in the U.S. Donning an army character from Indonesia, Dimas recounts the reinvention of his military pursuit and how things took a dilemmatic twist turn after 9/11. This is an episode that I lead-produced, wrote, co-hosted, reported, edited and partially sound designed.
