!Hola! I’m Bárbara Anguiano, Morning Edition host at
[link removed]
Marfa Public Radio . Before coming to West Texas, I was the Statewide Health and Science Reporter for Indiana Public Broadcasting — yes, during a pandemic. I’ve produced stories for both Hoosier airwaves as well as NPR. I’ve reported on everything from immigration to go-kart races, and interviewing anyone and any dog who will stop for two minutes. A native of Northwest Indiana — or “the Region”— I grew up just outside of Chicago and love spending time in the city, mostly to watch baseball games. I’m a graduate of Indiana University’s School of Journalism, where I first learned about audio storytelling, and later attended the Transom Story Workshop, where that love of audio grew. As a native Spanish speaker, I would love to one day
create a masterpiece in my native tongue.
