My name is Khari Douglas. I grew up in Austin, Texas, and I’ve been creating art my enitre life. Growing up, I took piano lessons (by force), played cello in orchestra, and noodled with the guitar.

I went to Johns Hopkins University where I co-hosted the WJHU student radio show The Soup Makes You Evil, which covered music, sports, and current events. At Hopkins I studied mechanical engineering for three semesters, before switching majors to international studies and economics with a focus on economic development.

After college I moved to Washington, DC to pursue a policy career. I worked at the Computing Research Association, where I started the Catalyzing Computing podcast, interviewing computing researchers and policy makers about their research and experience.

In 2022, I joined National Geographic as a producer working on the Overheard at National Geographic podcast.

In 2023, I moved to Los Angeles, California. I'm particularly interested in stories related to science, history, sports, and their intersection with pop culture.
