Nate Hegyi, Host & Senior Producer

As the host and senior producer of Outside/In, Nate loves stories that entertain, probe and leave you with more questions than answers — in a good way. He's traveled all over the country, from reporting on the hidden history of the world's first atomic bomb explosion in New Mexico to investigating a pair of shady competitive dogsledders in Alaska. Nate's work has aired on NPR, BBC, CBC and other outlets. Since becoming a public radio nerd nearly a decade ago, Nate has won multiple national awards for his reporting, including the 2020 Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize.

When he isn't in the field or hunched over his laptop, he likes hanging out with his three dogs and taking long trips to the Sonoran Desert with his wife, Christine.

Taylor Quimby, Executive Producer

Taylor Quimby started at NHPR as a weekend board operator in 2010, and has been ferociously climbing his way up the corporate ladder ever since. Currently, he is Executive Producer of Outside/In, and the host of Patient Zero. He was the senior producer for the first season of Bear Brook as well, and was a Broadcast Producer for the nationally distributed debate program, Intelligence Squared US. Individually, he has produced important stories about topics like MySpace, men’s underwear, and the zombie apocalypse. 

Taylor is a semi-lapsed comic-book nerd with a candy "problem", and has played the ukulele since before it was cliché. Sam likes to make fun of him because he runs in those weird-looking toe-shoes.
