My name is Andy Mills and I’m a reporter and podcast producer. I currently host the show Reflector, which I make with my creative partner Matthew Boll. Previously I co-created 'The Daily' at The New York Times, as well as the documentary series 'Rabbit Hole,' ‘Caliphate’ and 'The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling.'
In my career, I've had the good fortune to report on and produce stories from across the world, spanning a wide variety of subjects and beats, including politics, terrorism, culture wars, technology and science.
If you've stumbled on this page and are interested in the stories I like to tell and how I like to produce them here’s a good mix:
Delilah. Blame. Plotted in Darkness. Filthy Slime.
I also occasionally write and give public talks on storytelling, journalism and creating ambitious podcasts.
More personally, I’m a former fundamentalist Christian who grew up in Louisiana and Illinois and once believed that those who didn't share my exact views were damned to hell. I now am an enthusiast for curiosity, skepticism, grace and the transformative power of listening to people you disagree with.
I currently live in a tiny town in the Midwest where I enjoy walking in the woods and kayaking in the river.
