Lauren Hodges
Lauren Hodges is a producer for All Things Considered. She joined the show in 2018 after seven years in the NPR newsroom as a producer and editor.
Lauren works on many beats but leans toward national security, extremism, reproductive rights, poverty and social justice issues. She recently co-hosted a podcast on NPR's Embedded following active-duty Marines who were part of the mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6th.
She has been part of several award-winning teams at NPR. Her work on the ground covering the insurrection helped All Things Considered win the National Press Award for Breaking News in 2022. She has hosted the "Consider This" video series for several years, which won a White House News Photographers Association for Digital Storytelling. And she's a 2023 Edward R. Murrow Award winner for Continuing Coverage for her work on the aftermath of the fall of Roe. v. Wade.
She lives in Washington, D.C. and enjoys cemetery picnics, the quiet car on Amtrak rides, dive bars with no overhead lighting and eavesdropping on personal conversations.
