Taylor Quimby started at NHPR as a weekend board operator in 2010, and has been ferociously climbing his way up the corporate ladder ever since. Currently, he is Senior Producer of Word of Mouth and Outside/In, as well as Broadcast Producer for the nationally distributed debate program, Intelligence Squared US. Individually, he has produced important stories about topics like MySpace, men’s underwear, and the zombie apocalypse. Taylor is a semi-lapsed comic-book nerd with a candy "problem", has played the ukulele since before it was cliché, and Sam likes to make fun of him because he runs in those weird-looking toe-shoes.
