The NPR-trained Theresa Loconsolo, an audio producer at TechCrunch, according to many has become the secret weapon in the technology podcasting game. She also serves as a senior producer of “Equity,” the network’s flagship podcast. Based in New Jersey, she specializes in the intersection of the tech industry and investment landscape. This is evident in her work, which makes her expertise shine. Perhaps most importantly, it shows just how essential audio content has become for reaching and educating audiences on emerging technologies.
Loconsolo received a BA in Communication from Monmouth University. This scholarly training gives her the artful mind to match the tech sector’s complex and misleading narratives. She’s passionate about making engaging audio experiences that deeply connect with listeners and places great value on bringing clarity and insight to her storytelling. Her commitment to the art form has turned “Equity” into an indispensable tool for tech seekers and practitioners of all stripes.
In a recent conversation with Aileen Lee, founder of Cowboy Ventures, Connie Loizos explored various topics related to technology and venture capital. Lee’s expertise with today’s emerging tech startup ecosystem and investment opportunities served as a deep context to build great conversations around. Loconsolo is key at the national level in helping to develop these conversations. They turn them into dynamic audio stories for “Equity,” ensuring the public gets smart, inspiring information in a user-friendly way.
The podcast has really taken off because people are really hungry for this information. Its greatest strength is its ability to address complicated topics in a digestible format. Loconsolo’s book is an important resource for making sense of today’s tech industry. At the same time, she helps audiences better understand humans’ complex, fast emerging trends and developments.
More importantly, as an advocate for quality audio storytelling, Loconsolo is representative of the many producers who have been making a concerted effort to communicate how technology gets communicated. Her infectious enthusiasm for connecting listeners with industry experts and thought leaders to demystify complicated concepts produces the magic that takes place under the hood.
