Ravenna Koenig is a producer and director for Weekend Edition. Before joining the show, she interned at WNYC’s On The Media and Benjamen Walker’s Theory of Everything podcast. Since joining Weekend Edition in 2014, she has produced interviews with a diverse range of guests including Charli XCX, Mark Morris, Brie Larson, Ibeyi, and Sandra Cisneros. Her reported work has also been featured on NPR, with a focus on arts and culture. During the 2016 presidential cycle, Ravenna has field-produced stories on the election and was part of a team that produced Morning Edition‘s documentary special about how Americans see President Obama’s time in office. Her hometown is an island near Seattle, and while she doesn’t miss the rain, she does miss the feeling of wonder after 30 straight days of it.
