Biography

I’m a freelance journalist and audio producer based in Brooklyn, New York, making narrative podcasts and radio news stories. When I’m reporting my own stuff, I usually cover politics, conspiracy theories, identities, or climate change. From 2013-2018 I was a correspondent for North Country Public Radio in Upstate New York, and I’ve continued working with the station on freelance projects like 'If All Else Fails,' an investigative podcast about far-right extremism that I co-hosted. We also partnered on an award-winning radio series about Elise Stefanik, a high-ranking Republican in Congress. I studied Cultural Anthropology and hosted my first radio show at the University of Vermont before attending the Transom Story Workshop, a residential audio journalism program in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Need a reporter? Need a sound designer for your show, or help developing your podcast idea? Let’s work together! Shoot me an email or give a call via my website, zdhirsch.com.
