Zoë Saunders

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.
