As they say… “A New Year, A New You!” So obviously, a few changes are coming to the Story Collider podcast in 2023!

We took your podcast survey feedback to heart and are implementing some of your suggestions. As podcast host Misha Gajewski shared in our most recent episode, in addition to our well-loved two-story episodes, we will be adding episodes that delve deeper into the science behind our stories and storytelling craft.

And while Misha will still be the main host of our podcast, we’re also adding a few new hosts to our roster!

So without further ado, here are some of the new voices you can expect to hear in the coming months. Drum roll please!

Gastor Almonte

Story Collider board member and bestselling comedian Gastor Almonte will be hosting occasional episodes that feature our more humorous stories, from both comedians and scientists.

Katherine J. Wu

Story Collider senior producer and award-winning journalist Katherine J. Wu will be hosting episodes with interview segments that delve deeper into the science behind the featured story.

Eric Jankowski

Our board president, engineering professor, researcher, and experienced storyteller Eric Jankowski (who can be heard on next week’s episode!)

Erin Barker

Previous full-time host (and Story Collider executive director) Erin Barker, who will continue to host occasional “classic” Story Collider episodes that feature stories from our back catalog.
