Meet Emily Withnall, the new editor of El Palacio Magazine and your new podcast host of Encounter Culture. 

As a journalist and writer—and New Mexican, first of all—Emily is acquainted with all facets of the magazine publishing process. In conversation with Andrea Klunder, producer and story editor for Encounter Culture, Emily talks about her love of audio storytelling that goes all the way back to growing up on radio. With Encounter Culture, she strives for captivating storytelling with just the right amount of wandering. 

Emily is passionate about artists experimenting with public spaces, making art more accessible and less intimidating. Wearing the hats of El Palacio editor and Encounter Culture host, she wants to expand the magazine’s conversations into the podcast and also invite more Indigenous writers and artists to join in.
