About Julia Julia Furukawa joined the NHPR team in 2021 as a fellow producing All Things Considered after working as a reporter and editor for The Paris News in Texas and a freelancer for KNKX Public Radio in Seattle. Julia is a proud member of the Asian American Journalists Association and her work has received awards from the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors.

A lifelong public radio lover, Julia is probably listening to NHPR even when she's not in the office. About Nick and Hannah Hannah McCarthy : Host, Producer Hannah was discovered on Civics 101’s doorstep swaddled in a 13-star American flag with a copy of the Federalist Papers tucked into her baby basket. We raised her as our own and she has grown to be a producer on the show. Her kryptonite seems to be the Gettysburg Address spoken in reverse. Hannah brings a refined touch to the station by dressing exclusively in replicas of First Lady inaugural ball dresses, and is able to recite the constitutional amendments, verbatim, on command. Nick Capodice : Host, Education Outreach, Producer Nick thinks nothing gets kids more interested in Civics than performing the entire libretto of 1776, the musical about our Founding Fathers singing and dancing their way towards the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
