Miller is the co-host of NPR’s “Invisibilia,” a show about the invisible forces that shape human behavior. Her work has won accolades from the George Foster Peabody Awards, Third Coast and The Missouri Review. Before “Invisibilia,” Miller was a producer on “Radiolab” for five years. The proud owner of a canoe, Miller used to play rugby and study history at Swarthmore College. When she’s not making radio, she has the “hidden, secret, dirty hobby” of writing fiction stories.

He is also the pop critic for Slate magazine, where he writes about music, sports, film, TV, books and other areas of culture. His work has appeared in The Atlantic, on NPR and ESPN, in Transition, the L.A. Review of Books, Free Darko, The Classical, GlobalPost, Rolling Stone and other publications.
