A few kind words from former colleagues:

“In our little universe of audio storytellers (that she largely helped to create) Julie remains one of the primary flame tenders, always keeping us true to our mission and craft.  She is one of my trusted set of ears.” — Jad Abumrad, radio host, producer, & composer

”When we launched Ear Hustle, Julie was with us from the ground up—helping us shape our ideas and build both our creative and technical vision. Ear Hustle would never be what it is today without the foundational support she provided.” — Nigel Poor, Ear Hustle
