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 affiliate 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 student news reporters.  Among her broadcast awards are several Best Local Radio Reporter accolades from the Indiana Associated Press.

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