Reporting great stories involves a lot of patience, persistence…and sifting through the paper trail. Marketplace’s Sitara Nieves, In the Dark’s Madeleine Baran, and The Uncertain Hour’s Caitlin Esch talk about how going through thousands of documents and developing relationships with sources helped them find audio gold. Hosted by Tanzina Vega, Werk It: The Podcast is the ICYMI version of the live event. Both the festival and the podcast are produced by WNYC Studios and are made possible by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Event sponsors for Werk It 2018 include Spotify, Capterra, Stitcher, ART19, Pandora, Himalaya, and Yale School of Management. You can find more information at https://www.wnycstudios.org/shows/werkit.
