Podcast Host + Editor + Producer
Location: Los Angeles, California
Hi — Megan Tan here. I’m an award-winning podcast creator with over a decade of experience. With a foundational background in photojournalism and documentary film, I love to make audio stories more accessible by making them visual.
I launched into the podcast landscape with my critically acclaimed show Millennial with Radiotopia. Since then, my stories have appeared on This American Life and NPR's All Things Considered.
I hosted and created Audible’s Now or Never: How To Find Love When Love Feels Impossible, LAist Studios Snooze, shortlisted for the 2023 International Women’s Podcast Award, and WILD (Season I and II), named “Best Podcast of 2021” by Spotify and The Atlantic.
In 2021, out of over 48 million podcast episodes, an episode I wrote, sound designed, and produced WILD: How Do I Love Someone was named “Best Podcast Episode of 2021” by Apple Podcasts, and Best Documentary Finalist by Third Coast in 2023.
In addition to writing, editing, and hosting, I have a talent for sound design. California Love (Season I), a show I senior produced and sound designed was awarded the “Best Sound Design” by The Webby Awards in 2020. That same year, Adweek named me “Producer of the Year.”
My passion for memoir, rich immersive sounds, and blending fiction with non-fiction, fuels my motivation to push the audio landscape. I’ve been recognized by The Atlantic, Apple, The New York Times, and The Guardian, among others.
I’m currently based in Los Angeles with my family.
