ABOUT

Margaret Katcher is a graduate of UC Berkeley's School of Journalism. She’s a freelance reporter, audio producer, and host, currently the host and writer of Deep Look, a macro-photography wildlife and nature show from KQED and PBS Digital Studios. She’s also working as Head of Audio for Trojan Horse Media, developing a slate of larger-than-life stories that contain a deeper truth about culture, society, politics and the human condition.

She was formerly the executive producer and editor of the second season of Crumbs, a bilingual audio memoir from iHeart’s My Cultura Network and Sonoro Media. She was the lead producer of Silenced: The Radio Murders from and the lead producer of National Geographic’s The Trafficked Podcast with Mariana van Zeller.  

She’s been a part of an investigative project at The Guardian and a researcher for The Kids Are Not Alright, a documentary about the “Troubled Teen Industry.” She previously interned at the Brian Ross Investigative Unit at ABC News, where she contributed to "Life and Death at the Border," coverage of the London Bridge and Barcelona terror attacks, release of Pulse Nightclub police body-cam footage, and an investigation on Billion-Dollar Landlords. 

Her overarching credo is: take a closer look.

Her separate (but not really so separate) work is in photo-realistic colored pencil drawings, now a formal practice called Produce Aisle.
