Tyler Greene

Hi, I’m Tyler Greene. I’ve been putting on shows since I was a little boy. Back then, it was backyard magic shows for my Grandma - I loved thinking through the different tricks and moves I could make to wow her.

Once I graduated from college, I trained as a theatre producer and director at Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago, Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven and the Vineyard Theatre Off-Broadway in New York City. After realizing that theatre couldn’t pay off my Sallie Mae debt, I returned to Chicago looking for a job and I found my new home in public radio, podcasting and live events!

For nearly a decade, I was the Lead Producer for The Moth in Chicago and worked on the NPR news quiz, Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me! I also produced shows for WBEZ including live podcasts through the WBEZ Podcast Passport, a series I created to spotlight live versions of national podcasts like LeVar Burton Reads, NPR’s Code Switch, the pod classic Another Round, Terrible, Thanks for Asking, and many more.

In 2019, I left WBEZ and started started my own podcast and storytelling production company - my clients included Cumulus, Expedia, Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, Filmspotting, Chicago Public Education Fund, the Risk! Podcast, The Solidarity Center Podcast and more.

I’m now a freelance Creative Producer and Host/Interviewer who loves working on projects that have a big heart and seek to amplify stories that don’t often get told.

I live in the Bay Area, California with my husband Ziwu and our son Sam. If you’d like to know more about my family, listen to the pilot episode of This Is My Family, a show I self-produced and hosted with a team of my nearest and dearest collaborators during the pandemic.
