Join us for lunch with Rekha Murthy! Come meet Rekha in person and enjoy a meal while learning about her experiences in the podcast industry.

Rekha is a Founder, Podcast Strategist + Story Editor with decades of experience in podcasting, public radio, and other digital media. She advises on content strategy, show development, story editing, and distribution. She works with clients of all sizes - from Spotify, Getty and KEXP to independent influencers, creators, and journalists. Rekha believes that podcasting is at its best when it includes a wide range of voices and lived experiences.

Rekha has helped launch and lead key industry initiatives, including Spotify's Sound Up global training program, The Impact Guild, The Podcast Academy (home of The Ambies), and Radiotopia from PRX. She spent years at PRX + Radiotopia, NPR's All Things Considered + NPR Online, and web and mobile startups.

As an MIT alum advisor, Rekha supports current MIT students while drawing from her own educational background. She earned her SM in Comparative Media Studies from MIT in 2005, where her Masters thesis explored how people use urban streetscapes to communicate. Before MIT, she completed her Bachelor of Arts in International Relations at Brown University in 1996.
