Hannah "Hans" Copeland Sure Knows How To Listen
Hannah, known and loved by many as "Hans," has a passion for podcasting, script writing, interviewing, recording, business development, and education. She has played a roll in developing more than 20-podcasts and 8-local-bands. She was awarded the Broadcast Educator's Award of Excellence for Short Form Audio Production in 2020. Her career has taught her there is no sound more powerful than the human voice. Just send her a message to see how she can elevate your next project.
Hannah is an audio engineer at National Public Radio (NPR) in Washington, DC. There, she engineers live broadcasts for all of NPRs flagship shows, including Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Hannah does a lot of what she called "Audio Janitor Work" meaning cleaning nasty recordings to sound their best. She enjoys the pressure of live radio and methodical engineering process. But more than the work, she loves supporting the amazing content creators at NPR.
Before NPR, Hannah served as the general manager and audio adviser of 90.5 KCSU, the student-run college radio station of Colorado State University. For 6-years, she lead an award winning team of 20-student employees and 40-volunteers to operate a 24/7 terrestrial radio station, publish dozens of podcasts, and produce written content at KCSUFM.com. At CSU, Hannah also served as an adjunct professor for the classes she founded and developed: audio production, radio operations, and podcasting. Hannah prides herself on being a patient, fastidiously organized, and a creative producer.
Before CSU, Hannah served as an arts and culture reporter and announcer for KCUR 89.3, National Public Radio (NPR) Kansas City, MO. Here she followed strict journalistic and production standards, setting the bar high for the rest of her career.
In 2011, Hannah founded and then later owned and operated The Aquadome, a non-profit arts and music venue. The Aquadome hosts local and traveling artists and serves as beacon of arts and culture for Kirksville, MO and its surrounding rural communities.
For fun, Hannah can be found traveling to all 50-states (37 and counting!) biking through crazy DC traffic, hiking in the mountains, and eating delicious foods.
