The newest member of the TTBOOK family arrived this week, fresh from Washington, DC and Bloomington, Indiana. We’re delighted to introduce Angelo Bautista, an incredibly talented young producer with one of the most engaging voices we’ve heard. He’s one of
AIR’s 2018 New Voices (along with former producer Haleema Shah, who’s now hosting the Smithsonian’s Sidedoor podcast).
Angelo interned with NPR’s Code Switch and he worked his way through college at WFIU, Indiana Public Media, but we fell in love with the audio essays he’s been producing on his own for years — like this one, about growing up telling spooky Filipino ghost stories over campfires; and this one, which starts out as a visit to a Filipino food truck, but turns into an unexpected story about the human connections that transcend Red/Blue politics.
You’ll be hearing more of Angelo in the weeks to come, but for now, help us welcome him to his new public radio home. And give him a follow on Twitter.
