Nick Capodice has been the cohost and coproducer of Civics 101 at NHPR for two years, where he has interviewed scholars on dozens of topics about how our government works and edited those interviews into a narrative podcast. He has presented at schools and conferences across the country on audio storytelling and firmly believes everyone out there should be making radio in their homes.
Prior to NHPR, Nick worked for many years at the Tenement Museum in the Lower East Side, where he led tours for the press, created digital exhibits, and trained educators on facilitated storytelling.
