Stephanie Wiechmann

Managing Editor and All Things Considered Host

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

You can thank Minooka Community High School’s speech team in Illinois 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 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 nationally by the Public Media Journalists Association and in the state by the Indiana Associated Press, Society of Professional Journalists, and Indiana Broadcasters Association.  This includes winning the Indiana AP’s “Best Radio Reporter” accolade in the local radio division five times.

Stephanie is one of Pop of Culture’s biggest fans.  And her late-night soundtrack is Xponential Radio on IPR.

When she’s not on-air, Stephanie is usually reading or giving someone book recommendations.
