Benjamin Adair is a journalist and radio producer based in Los Angeles, Calif.

I've served in every facet of public radio production from associate producer to managing editor to executive producer. I've contributed to shows such as All Things Considered, Marketplace, Day to Day, Studio 360, Radio Lab and Latino USA.

I am currently a senior correspondent for American Public Media.

I consult for both national shows and local productions that are seeking to define or refine an editorial sound and/or process. Clients have included APM, WNYC and Southern California Public Radio.

I love radio that fully exploits the medium: strong narratives and ideas, interesting voices, beautiful sound. The best stories create new worlds of experience for the listener and engage all the senses - not just the ears.
