Lorna White joined NPR in 1984. For twelve years she engineered Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, Performance Today, and operated Master Control. In 1996 she accepted the position of NPR Chicago Bureau Engineer. In addition to providing studio support, she has experience in recording news remotes and classical music ensembles. She has been with Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me since the beginning in 1998. Lorna is a graduate of Illinois State University with a degree in Communications and Music.
Robert Neuhaus (Production Manager) began his professional career at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago and went on to create sound designs for most major Chicago theatres, including Chicago Shakespeare, where his designs earned two Joseph Jefferson awards. In addition to his work in theatre, Robert designed sound systems for consulting firm Schuler Shook and produced seven seasons of the audio theatre series Chicago Theatres on the Air for WFMT and L.A. Theatre Works. All the while he was also serving as a freelance engineer for NPR, recording everything from important politicians to squealing hogs. Shortly after Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me went into production in early 1998 the demands of the show became a full-time job and Robert has been a member of the Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me technical production team ever since.
