Arwen Champion Nicks

Arwen Champion Nicks (@arwenn) is the managing producer of podcasts at KPCC and LAist. At the 2019 Third Coast Conference, Arwen will be part of a Panel Discussion all about new methods of intertwining documentary, fiction & story for - dare we say it - even truer stories.

She has been working in radio and/or podcasting for about a decade and has won awards for her work as producer, host, investigative editor, and reporter. Currently, as the department lead at KPCC, she is whatever a project needs her to be. Her focus is always on the listener experience no matter what role she plays in a project. If she wasn’t working in podcasts she would probably be writing queer rom-coms. You may also know her from her work on The Big One, Tell Them, I Am, The Sub Pop Podcast, How's Your Day or maybe for the time she tweeted every line to Thelma & Louise.
