Hi, I'm Andrea Gutierrez

I'm a reporter and podcast producer in Los Angeles

Andrea Gutierrez

Iโ€™m drawn to stories at the intersections of identity, arts, and culture.

A longยญtime stoยญryยญteller with work in print, digยญiยญtal, and audio, I most recentยญly proยญduced and reportยญed for NPR, where I was part of the teams who made TED Radio Hour, Itโ€™s Been a Minute, and Planยญet Monยญey. My reportยญing has aired on shows across the netยญwork, includยญing All Things Conยญsidยญered, Code Switch and Alt.Latino. In 2023, I reportยญed from Berlin as an Arthur F. Burns Felยญlow.

I got my start in radio proยญducยญing and reportยญing for The Frame, a daiยญly radio show on NPR staยญtion LAist. Past bylines include The World, Marยญfa Pubยญlic Radio, Bitch, make/shift, and Huizache.

My work has won awards and honยญors from the Podยญcast Acadยญeยญmy, Los Angeยญles Press Club, Nationยญal Assoยญciยญaยญtion of Hisยญpanยญic Jourยญnalยญists, NLGJA: The Assoยญciยญaยญtion of LGBTQ Jourยญnalยญists, and KCRยญWโ€™s 24-Hour Radio Race. I was a RIAS Berlin Comยญmisยญsion Felยญlow, IWMF Gwen Ifill Felยญlow, and AIR New Voicยญes Scholยญar. In a preยญviยญous life, I spent many years advisยญing and menยญtorยญing stuยญdents at pubยญlic uniยญverยญsiยญties throughยญout California.

A first-genยญerยญaยญtion colยญlege gradยญuยญate and lifeยญlong Southยญern Calยญiยญfornยญian, I received a B.A. in Gerยญman studยญies at Scripps Colยญlege and an MFA in creยญative nonยญficยญtion at the Uniยญverยญsiยญty of Calยญiยญforยญnia, Riverยญside. Iโ€™m an alum of the Poynยญter Leadยญerยญship Acadยญeยญmy for Diverยญsiยญty in Media and the Tranยญsom Travยญelยญing Workshop.
