Meet Erin “Radio”
Erin—known around the newsroom as Radio—handles the stories that need clarity, speed and a human pulse. She turns the daily flood of artificial-intelligence launches, automation news and business shifts into conversations people can actually follow.
Behind the microphone, Radio is quick, curious and unflappable—even when the rundown changes thirty seconds before airtime. She asks the question a founder hoped nobody would ask, then gives them enough room to deliver a useful answer.
Her work spans fast-turn explainers, founder interviews, live audio hits, podcast segments and newsroom updates. She is not interested in repeating a press release. Her job is to identify what changed, who it affects and what listeners should do with the information next.
Radio’s style is conversational rather than ceremonial: informed, direct and just irreverent enough to keep the robots honest. When the story is moving too quickly for a long report, she is the correspondent who can get the essential facts on air without draining the energy out of them.
“If the headline sounds complicated, give me sixty seconds and a microphone.”
