ABUKAR
ADAN

I'm a producer, reporter, and editor based in Queens, New York. Over the past decade, I've worked across investigative journalism, narrative nonfiction, horror, and experimental audio storytelling. I'm currently producing projects for iHeartMedia, Sony Music, and Campside Media.

After nearly seven years helping shape Campside's slate of narrative podcasts, I struck out on my own and now develop projects directly with creators, studios, and production partners. My work includes Wild Boys, winner of the Ambie for Podcast of the Year; the Signal Award-winning horror anthology Run, Fool!; and The Last Days of Cabrini-Green, a hybrid fiction-nonfiction Audible Original. Collectively, my shows have reached tens of millions of listeners and been featured in best-of lists by The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, and New York Magazine.

Before podcasting, I was a public radio reporter at WJCT News in Florida and Maine Public. I occasionally teach and speak about audio journalism, reporting, and narrative storytelling.
