Summary: I am a fan of public radio. I've been fortunate enough to have hosted conversations with both Dick Gordon and Bob Edwards - two of my favorite public radio interviewers - for this podcast. Earlier this year, I discovered the 99% Invisible podcast thanks to a recommendation made by my Stitcher app. I've been hooked ever since! Our guest, Roman Mars, is the producer and host of this great podcast! I was delighted when he accepted my invitation to be on the "other side" of the microphone. Enjoy the conversation! About Roman Mars Roman Mars is the host, producer and program director of Public Radio Remix from PRX. He is also the host and producer of KALW’s 99% Invisible, a short radio show about design and architecture. The 99% Invisible podcast recently peaked at #8 in the iTunes rankings for all podcasts, as well as #1 in both the Arts and Design categories. His reported and documentary work has most recently aired on Snap Judgment, Morning Edition, Weekend America, KALW’s Crosscurrents and WBEZ’s Re:sound. Before going rogue, Mars spent over three years at WBEZ’s Third Coast International Audio Festival as the project senior producer and sound designer, developing their weekly documentary radio program and producing the TCF national broadcast specials for Public Radio International.
