Katie Konans Made NASA’s Podcast Program, So You Can Make Something Awesome Too

How do you build a content program from scratch that’s ready for the world stage? Katie can help you with that.

Katie Konans has revolutionized NASA's digital strategy through her work in audio communication. At NASA, she manages five active podcasts, including the flagship podcast "NASA's Curious Universe," which she launched. Since taking the leadership role in 2019, she's grown the podcast audience to more than 8 million episode plays on Apple Podcasts alone. She's received the NASA Early Career Achievement Medal, a Webby Award, as well as the Robert H. Goddard Award for her team's contributions to NASA's public engagement and communication.

“Nobody knows what they’re doing… I think people are sometimes better at making it seem like they do than at other times, but I think if you have a strong conviction and you’re willing to do the work, do your research and due diligence and connect with other people, you can push forward. And you may not do it all in a day… but slow and steady, I think, is the way to go.”
