Scott Carrier

American author, radio producer and educator Scott Carrier makes a meager living on the donations he receives through his “Home of the Brave” podcast. Carrier began his public radio career in 1983, recording people as he hitchhiked across the country. After pitching his stories to NPR, he became a regular contributor to “This American Life.” Several years in public radio led Carrier to the decision to go it alone as a new breed of storyteller began to emerge: the podcaster. He now travels around the country talking to Americans and lending an authentic voice to current events.
