Emma Eun-joo Choi (emmaeunjoo) talks to us about Everyone & Their Mom, the new NPR podcast with 'little sister vibes.'
What do the inventors of the Squatty Potty, regional director for the Fish & Wildlife Service Matt Hogan, and comedian Ashley Ray have in common? They’ve all appeared onThe comedy podcast is pithy, only ever lasting for about 15 or 20 minutes, and focuses on some topical subject, whether it be a discovery about the dinosaurs’ demise or Hard Mountain Dew.
Choi’s been a lifelong fan of comedy, in part because it expanded her horizons beyond her native northern Virginia. Growing up, she wanted to be everything from an inventor to a Broadway actor to Mindy Kaling. Radio was not a particular dream of hers, but joining NPR as an intern for“There’s no such thing as a comedy internship, because you have to know someone in the writers room and then become a writer’s assistant. So like, this was the first comedy internship that really seemed feasible, and I love NPR,” she says.
Choi jokes that she must have a Mary-Kate and Ashley twin thing going on in order to get everything done, but thankfully she and her co-workers have worked to ensure she can host the podcast while still attending college. They schedule around her classes, keep her work virtual, and plan to record an evergreen episode in advance of her finals week. Beyond accommodating her college work, Choi praises her mentors at NPR for trusting her.
