Join the directors of the Third Coast International Audio Festival for a program of unforgettable radio stories produced by some of the country's most accomplished documentary makers and by extraordinary newcomers to the field.

Presenters:
Johanna Zorn
Third Coast Festival Executive Director Johanna Zorn has worked for Chicago Public Radio for nearly three decades, beginning fresh out of college as an intern. She has produced and directed numerous programs, and spent ten years as the Executive Producer of CPR’s acclaimed public affairs series Chicago Matters. It was during those years that Zorn realized there was a great need for a festival that supported the field of documentary audio. Zorn and colleague Julie Shapiro founded the Third Coast International Audio Festival in 2000, and have led it through eight successful years.
Julie Shapiro
Third Coast Festival Managing Director Julie Shapiro has been with the Festival since its inaugural year (2000). Before moving to Chicago, she worked at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University and produced Storylines Southeast, a public radio series about literature from that region. Shapiro makes audio art for public presentation and can occasionally be heard on the public radio airwaves.
