Carlos Prieto joins as a producer.
Carlos began his career in audio at a radio news station in Washington, D.C. He then joined POLITICO as the launching producer of a daily brief on energy policy, POLITICO Energy. After establishing the show as a must-listen in Washington’s energy circles, Carlos joined POLITICO’s flagship podcast, “Playbook Deep Dive,” a weekly show featuring powerful D.C. figures you’ve never heard of.
Carlos studied journalism in Canada and political sciences in Rennes, France, with a focus on European politics and humanitarian assistance.
Will Reid joins as a producer.
He comes to The Times from “Today, Explained,” Vox’s daily news podcast and radio show. At Vox, he covered everything from inflation to the history of the internet. Before “Today, Explained,” he made tech news podcasts at Vox.
Will started his career in the newsroom at Boise State Public Radio as an intern. He then did research for “Charged,” a podcast from Slate hosted by Emily Bazelon.
Nina Feldman joins as a producer.
Nina comes from NPR member station WHYY in Philadelphia, where she was the station’s health reporter for more than four years. She brought Philadelphia’s stories to a national audience through a partnership between NPR and Kaiser Health News. During the pandemic, Nina’s reporting on an inexperienced start-up tapped by the city of Philadelphia to run its vaccine rollout was the basis for the station’s investigative podcast series, “Half Vaxxed,” which she also hosted. The show is now nominated for a Peabody Award.
