Stephanie Wiechmann

Managing Editor and All Things Considered Host

Stephanie is an award-winning journalist who has been the afternoon news voice on IPR since 2007, hosting All Things Considered and reporting stories from IPR-area counties.

You can thank the Minooka, Illinois high school speech team for bringing Stephanie to public radio.  Her category, naturally, was “radio speaking.” In college, she hosted several public affairs shows for student radio station WLUR-FM in Lexington, Virginia, and interned at NPR member station WFAE in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Stephanie holds a bachelors degree in print journalism from Washington & Lee University.

At IPR, Stephanie guides the news culture and edits and mentors the station’s reporters, including PMX student news fellows.  She’s been recognized for award-winning work by the Indiana Associated Press, Society of Professional Journalists, and Indiana Broadcasters Association, including several AP “Best Local Radio Reporter” accolades.

She’s a long-time This American Life and Science Friday fan and IPR’s own Pop of Culture has become a new never-miss favorite.

When she’s not on-air, Stephanie has her nose in a book.  She can be found browsing the stacks at the local libraries, giving book recommendations, or finding a quiet place to read.
