Zoë Saunders

Senior Producer

SHORT BIO

Zoë Saunders is senior producer of Marketplace's narrative podcast, “This Is Uncomfortable.” She is based in Brooklyn, New York.

Zoë first dipped her toes into audio production as a college radio DJ at WPRB. After a slight detour through academic archaeology, she circled back to her radio roots and produced award-winning podcasts and nationally-syndicated radio programs for WNYC, PRI/PRX, and CNN, before finally joining Marketplace in 2022. Counter to her parents' belief, she has never actually worked for NPR.

When not on a Zoom call for work, Zoë can usually be found singing to her dog.
