Ariana Tobin

Ariana is assistant producer at Note to Self at WNYC public radio in New York. Her project, which she led and managed, is “Bored and Brilliant,” an interactive multi-week WNYC podcast that monitored nearly 20,000 participants’ use of their smartphones. Each day for one week, participants received a challenge from the podcast to help them monitor and discover how much they used their smartphones and how the usage impacted their lives. Ariana is now working to turn this project into a model for other public issues, such as education and technology.
