Josephine Bennett grew up in Connecticut but now lives in Macon, Georgia. As a public radio journalist she loves telling the stories of the American South. Her work ranges from a story about a high school holding its first integrated prom to peanut farmers facing drought conditions resulting in a peanut butter shortage. Her work has aired on Georgia Public Broadcasting and nationally on NPR. She's also written web content for TV Land and articles for various magazines.
She’s worked in public radio since 2006 and has served as a Reporter, Morning Edition Host, Bureau Chief, Community Engagement Manager, Station Manager and Senior Producer.
When Josephine is not “making radio” she is hanging out with her family and multiple pets. She volunteers with The Pixel Fund fostering dogs. The group takes dogs and cats from high kill shelters in the south and transports them north to find homes. She tends to post way too many pictures of them on her personal Instagram page.
She's been married to Gordon IV who she met at Brigham Young University since 1984 and is the mother of Grace who reminds her she's not ready for Chico's and Gordon V who forces her to use Snapchat because it's the only way she can see what he's up to.
