Jordan-Marie Smith
Jordan-Marie Smith is a producer with NPR's All Things Considered.
She returned to the flagship evening news program in January 2024 after serving as a founding producer with the Washington Post's daily news podcast Post Reports since 2018. There, she made impactful and original reporting like a multimedia project about how opioids decimated a friend group from her Greenville, North Carolina high school.
Smith came back to All Things Considered after 8 years in journalism at McClatchy and The Post. She interned at Weekend Edition in 2014 and worked with the Washington Desk, Morning Edition, and All Things Considered. She produces host interviews with senators like Democrat Mark Warner, authors like Boy Erased's Garrard Conley, and notable celebrities like Pat Benatar. Smith also produces her own reporting projects on subjects aligned with culture, social media, and issues surrounding the global majority.
Smith hails from Greenville, North Carolina, spent her first four years of life on a religious commune and has shaken the Queen of England's hand when she was a baby in Bermuda. When she's not considering all the things, Smith volunteers at a local library's fundraising arm, serves as her college paper's advisory board member, and scrolls through PetFinder for the perfect pet.
