Myke Dodge Weiskopf is the Senior Producer in KCRW's Music Department. From 2018 to 2021, he produced the original Lost Notes trilogy with creator/executive producer Nick White and hosts Solomon Georgio, Jessica Hopper, and Hanif Abdurraqib. During the pandemic, he created Private Playlist as a way to engage musicians and producers by talking about the music that was keeping them sane. Key episodes of the series were subsequently picked up by NPR under the rebranded title, "Lockdown Listening." Concurrently, he spent two years painstakingly digitizing and restoring the archive of former KCRW DJ Deirdre O’Donoghue, resulting in Bent By Nature: a sprawling, multi-pronged project that birthed a podcast series, an on-demand archive, and a 24/7 streaming station of her original broadcasts. The project won a 2023 National Arts & Entertainment Journalism award for Best Multimedia Package. Earlier, he was a contributing producer and editor for The Organist, KCRW’s audio collaboration with The Believer magazine, and a contributor to KCRW’s original audio documentary series, UnFictional. He began his career at the station as a music supervisor for Lea Thau’s Strangers podcast. His fingerprints are on countless other KCRW projects as a writer, story editor, sound designer, composer, mixer, and silent partner. (Photo: Daniel Topete)
