Hi, I’m Amy.

I’m the founder and executive producer of Threshold, a documentary podcast about our relationships with the more-than-human world and the ecological crises that define our time.

We’ve produced six seasons so far, and we’ve won a Peabody Award, a national Edward R. Murrow Award, and other honors. I was selected for the Scripps Fellowship in Environmental Journalism at CU Boulder in 2016-17. In 2026, I won the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Excellence in Science Communications award from the National Academies of Sciences.

My radio reporting has been heard on All Things Considered, Reveal, Here and Now, The World, and other programs.

In addition to my audio storytelling, I write for print. My portfolio below includes articles published in The Guardian, Scientific American, and my Substack, Letters to Earthlings. I’m currently working on my first book.

I was raised on an Iowa farm, and currently divide my time between Missoula, Montana and Umeå, Sweden.
