Long before the explosion of podcasts, Julie Shapiro was championing the art of storytelling. These days she is Executive Producer of Radiotopia, a network supporting amazing podcasts like 99% Invisible, Criminal and Song Exploder. In an ever expanding and evolving community of podcast lovers and makers, Julie's ears are constantly turned toward the many voices and stories that have yet to be told. In this chat she shares the myriad of sounds that have helped shaped her life's passion. From the 1983 nuclear war film 'The Day After' to the Riot Grrrl movement as well as experiencing the discovery of 'Sleep Well Beast' by The National through the ears of her young son.
