Ann Marie Baldonado

I am currently an interview contributor and Director of Talent Development at Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Before my current position, I was a long-time Fresh Air producer who helped steer the arts and culture coverage of the show. I focused on film, TV, and theater. I became a contributing interviewer in 2015, talking with comedians, actors, directors and musicians like Ali Wong, Kumail Nanjiani, John Cho, Leslie Odom Jr., and Jeff Tweedy. In 2020, I hosted the limited-run podcast Parent Trapped, about the struggles of parenting during the pandemic. I am also a producer for television; I was Talent Producer for the late-night Comedy Central show, The Opposition w/Jordan Klepper, and for Kal Penn Approves This Message, a limited series leading up to the 2020 election. I was senior producer of the critically acclaimed WNYC podcast Sooo Many White Guys, hosted by comedian Phoebe Robinson, and have consulted for shows at BuzzFeed News, Facebook Watch, iHeartRadio, and Gimlet.

I would like to continue to work at a higher editorial or production level, and I am also interested in interviewing and hosting. I'm open to all opportunities-- full-time, part-time, consulting, temp, long term, etc. Feel free to reach out about my current availability.
