She left a fabulous and secure job reporting for South Dakota Public Radio, and working with aspiring journalists at the University of Sioux Falls to live out west. It’s extremely difficult to really do much mountain biking when there are no hills. So she’s now set up to freelance from the hills of Rapid City, South Dakota.

I’ve piloted two news programming concepts – Atlas, Radio Stories from Around the World (2004), and Monitor Radio II (1998), which was an experiment in producing a daily news magazine with public radio sensibility for commercial radio. I continue to experiment with new formats and marketing strategies for new media platforms.
I began my indie business, SchardtMEDIA, in 1998 and have been lucky to work on some great projects with wonderful, talented people at the networks and stations around the country, including launching public radio\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s newest network, Native Voice One, From the Top, World Radio Network from NPR, Radio Netherlands’ documentary series, and PRI’s Public Interactive. With Walrus Research’s George Bailey and Craig Oliver, I initiated in 2003 a 2-year benchmark study of public radio programming through the lens of independent/freelance producers with partner/investors CPB, MPR, NPR, PRI, KCRW, and WGBH.
In September 2007, I was elected to be the Executive Director of AIR. If you haven\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t yet, it\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s time to join AIR.

I am also an independent radio producer for 800 lb. Productions. My current project is a radio comic strip which plays out in the kitchen of 11 Central Ave, the home of an extended family where a hodgepodge of other characters regularly drop in. As they rush around in the morning drinking coffee, reading the paper, looking for their shoes, they’re talking about everything from the most compelling topics of our time (the Supreme Court nominee and his views on abortion) to the most ridiculous (mommy blogging), and everything in between -- covenant marriage, teens hooking up, the next pandemic, the fog of internet dating…It’s a wry look at America’s zeitgeist – in four minute installments.
11 Central Ave, as it's called, is airing on WBEZ in Morning Edition on Fridays, on WBUR in Boston, and on KUOW in Seattle and KUT in Austin in WESUN, on WLRN in Miami in WESAT and on WUSM in Hattiesburg.

Public Radio
Kat began her radio career at KMUN in Astoria, Oregon and worked as a free-lancer, producing for OPB, KUOW, the old Monitor Radio, and several other outlets. She has also worked in print for local and national publications, including Newsweek. Kat has covered a wide range of stories, focusing extensively on water in the West, mental health, politics, gay rights and the environment.
What is the theme that links all of this? Throughout my career, I\'ve been drawn to the hidden world behind the visible one. I\'ve worked consistently to unearth and report on the deeper historical, philosophical, or religious context of a story, and I\'ve used imagination to make sense of complex ideas. I\'m in public radio because I believe in our ability to help people understand one another across the boundaries that so sharply divide us.

StoryCorps / Oral History
Aside from some sporadic freelancing, my production / radio experience is mostly consolidated in the year and a half I worked as a facilitator for StoryCorps, the national oral history project based out of New York City. StoryCorps clips air on Morning Edition every week. I also spent a good deal of time at WETA in Arlington VA producing a documentary about Nepal, and naturally have done the internship gig at WNYC. While I have done a bit of standard reporting, I also do a lot of literary-style production in the documentary, commentary, or personal essay veins.

Eventually, Jill took a sabbatical from radio and became a public school teacher, but the storytelling bug got the best of her and she returned to Monitor Radio in Boston where she produced in-depth stories about world events. She also freelanced as an education reporter, winning a finalist award for her story on gifted education in the United States.
When she was not reporting or teaching, Jill pursued her cooking passion, eventually transforming her infatuation with food into a new career. She worked as a food publicist in Massachusetts and then became a freelance writer for the Boston Globe, Yankee Magazine, Maine Times Magazine and Newsinme.com. She also wrote a food column for the Portland Phoenix which allowed her to cultivate her relationship with Maine farmers, fishermen, chefs and restaurateurs.
To hone her recipe testing skills, Jill interned at Cook’s Illustrated Magazine in Brookline, Massachusetts. In June 2007, Jill graduated Summa Cum Laude from Johnson & Wales University where she received her A.S. in Culinary Arts. Currently, Jill divides her time between cooking, food writing, teaching and traveling.
