“Stephanie Foo is a force of nature.” —Nicholas Quah
Stephanie Foo has always been obsessed with stories. She started her first podcast, Get Me On This American Life, when she was just 21, and it launched her into a career that led to actually working at This American Life just four years later.
As a child, Stephanie created comics, got her start in print journalism, then became fascinated with audio narratives. At This American Life, she reported, edited, and mixed radio stories and often produced entire shows. Stephanie produced This American Life’s video project, “Videos 4 U: I Love You,” which garnered three Daytime Emmy nominations and also won the 2015 Webby Award for Online Film & Video in Drama: Individual Short or Episode category.
Altogether, she has worked in audio for over a decade. Stephanie helped create the national radio show Snap Judgment, and her work has been showcased on numerous podcasts, such as Reply All, 99 Percent Invisible, and Radiolab. Stephanie also produced an Emmy-winning video short for TAL.
Stephanie was a 2019-2020 Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Fellow, and in 2022, she published a book that explores the science and psychology behind Complex PTSD through the lens of her own personal narrative of healing, titled What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma.
When she’s not telling stories, you can find her in Forest Park, saving trees and harvesting acorns as one of the park’s six “Super Stewards.”
