Robin Amer is an artist and radio producer based in Chicago. She combines field recordings, interviews, sound art, and original writing to make sound rich story pieces that are sometimes broadcast on the radio and sometimes performed before a live audience. Much of her work, including the hour-long radio documentary Reconstructing Providence, deals with the complex lives of old post-industrial cities. In her freelance work, she has contributed pieces to public radio's daily business show Marketplace and the Providence Phoenix. She is the former Executive Producer of Brown Student Radio’s flagship documentary series Inside Out, and curator of the experimental sound art series No Soap Radio. She is also a magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Brown University's Art Semiotics program, and a former artist-in-residence at AS220 in Providence, Rhode Island. In her spare time, she likes to build and ride bikes.
