It’s been just 18 months since Opinion brought its audio operations in-house at The New York Times, and the in-house team is now producing a podcast episode every weekday.
With that success in mind, Opinion Audio has announced that Irene Noguchi will join the group as its executive producer in early December.
Noguchi will lead the programming slate that includes “Sway,” “The Ezra Klein Show,” “The Argument” and an interesting new podcast hosted by Lulu Garcia-Navarro that will launch in early 2022. Irene Noguchi brings a rich background of public radio, digital media, and experience covering daily news and launching new podcasts.
Irene Noguchi is currently the head of audio at Politico, where she oversees the company’s podcasts and smart speaker content covering politics and policy. With no shortage of adrenaline during the 2020 election and the start of Covid, Irene launched the company’s daily news podcast “Dispatch,” weekly politics show “Playbook Deep Dive” and interview program “Global Insider.” Prior to that, she co-launched Vox’s playful and popular daily news podcast “Today, Explained,” and led the team as its executive producer. She has been very fortunate to have worked with amazing teams in her career so far.
By all accounts, Noguchi takes great pride in her public radio background, and produced live news programming and call-in shows at NPR stations in San Francisco, Seattle and Las Vegas for a decade. In a past life, she was a lawyer and will always, always read the fine print.
Once a lawyer, always a lawyer!
Noguchi is replacing Alison Bruzek, who managed Opinion while the job search was being conducted.
