LAist Studios, the podcast development and production studio of Southern California Public Radio, has tapped former Entertainment Weekly editorial director Shana Naomi Krochmal to serve as vice president of the studio. At LAist Studios, which produces shows like California Love and Servant of Pod with Nick Quah, Krochmal will be tasked with helping refine the studio’s podcast strategy and expanding its audience. I think LAist Studios has the best possible view to reflect back those stories in heartfelt and honest audio narratives,” Krochmal said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. Also joining Krochmal at SCPR is Sophie Chap from The Los Angeles Times, who will lead communications across all SCPR platforms. At the Times, Chap was a senior manager for media and marketing partnerships, where she helped create and execute media campaigns for the paper.
