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 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 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 fan and IPR’s own Pop of Culture has become a never-miss favorite.  Now that IPR plays Xponential Radio in the evenings, she also has a new late-night soundtrack.

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