Zeke Reed

Producer, Greater LA

Zeke does all things audio. Record and radio producer, podcaster, musician - if it involves sound, he’s down. A native of Topanga, Zeke graduated with a degree in cognitive neuroscience and political philosophy from the University of Virginia before becoming a Coro Fellow back home in Los Angeles. 

He’s spent the last few years working at USC’s Annenberg School of Journalism and building a studio practice at his home in the mountains. He recently joined KCRW as a fill-in producer on Greater LA.
