Aronson

I'm an endlessly curious journalist and dedicated-to-the-craft podcast producer, trying to live up to my childhood nickname -- pochemuckha.

I got my start in radio as a First Voice Media Apprentice at KPFA in Berkeley, CA, where I produced, reported, and hosted cultural affairs radio magazine, Full Circle. I was an intern with public radio legends The Kitchen Sisters, and freelanced for public radio and podcast outlets in the San Francisco Bay Area and Washington DC — places like KALW, Panoply, and Stitcher.

I landed my first newsroom gig at PBS NewsHour, where I produced some of the things I’m most proud of, like Broken Justice, a podcast about America’s broken public defense system. And I contributed to the NewsHour’s Peabody award-winning coverage of the January 6th insurrection.

Now I work for ABC News , where I write, produce, and develop podcasts . I do longform, narrative series and day-of news segments for our daily podcast Start Here. I also write and produce specials for Start Here, like On the Brink , " a Murrow award-winning episode about women who faced life-threatening delays to healthcare because of abortion restrictions in their states, "Divert the Police” about mental health policing in the San Francisco Bay Area, and "Mother Tongue/ родной язык” about Russian Americans’ reaction to the war in Ukraine, which won an inaugural Signal Award for Best Writing, Listener’s Choice.
