Mindy Ratner

Mindy began her career in public broadcasting following her graduation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, working first for the local public television station and then for Wisconsin Public Radio.  She then moved on to stations in Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Minnesota.  In 1998 and '99, she took a leave of absence to work as a music host and producer for China Radio International in Beijing.  Her spare time is devoted to international travel; folk, ballroom and contradancing; her two cats; and trying to stay ahead of the weeds in her garden.
