ABOUT MEGHANMeghan is an award-winning journalist and audio producer based in New York City.
Right now, Meghan is the Director of Audio & Digital Content at WFUV 90.7 FM, an NPR affiliate in the Bronx. She is the Executive Producer of the station’s weekly podcast, “FUV Live Sessions” and she oversees all other creative non-music audio elements that run on air. She has also reported and produced two award-winning feature stories of her own, including No More 24, which won a Gracie Award in 2023 and The Contribution, which won a PMJA award in 2024.
She created and oversees the Student Audio Production program at WFUV, where she teaches undergraduate Fordham students the tenets of audio production and ethical journalism.
She has also worked extensively as a freelance journalist and audio producer.

She is currently producing, mixing and engineering the podcast, The Future of Healthcare AI, for Bain Capital. Before that, she produced episodes for Season 3 of PRX’s show, Food, We Need to Talk. She got her start in audio when she co-conceived the podcast, How to Save the World. The show focused on accessible climate-change solutions for a broad audience.
She is the proud recipient of a Master’s Degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, where she studied while pivoting careers during the pandemic. She also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts with a dual degree in Environmental Studies and a minor in Anthropology.

Every artistic project that Renée Elise Goldsberry touches seems to turn into exactly what her namesake points to: gold. She’s a true triple threat (triple might not even do it justice – it might be more like quadruple or quintuple) who has made a name for herself on New York City stages, in television shows, and in critically acclaimed films.
In this “FUV Live Session” Renée performs songs from her new album, Who I Really Am, and talked with me about self-acceptance, the pursuit of joy, and who she really is: simply herself.
Songs: Who I Really Am, Staring and Smiling
