About
Jeannie Yandel has always been a sucker for a good story. And she had an epiphany one morning listening to Morning Edition – the consistently best stories out there were coming from NPR.
So in 2001, she started as an intern here at KUOW, working for Weekday. Since then, Jeannie's produced nearly every show out of KUOW, including The Conversation and The Record.
She's won awards for her reporting and her interviewing.
Now she makes new shows as an editor with KUOW's podcast team, and she co-hosts the podcast Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace.

Why do we promote — and elect — incompetent leaders?
Many of us have watched “The Office” and laughed/cringed at the antics of Michael Scott, a horrible boss who believes — wholeheartedly, even sometimes charmingly — that he is the world’s best boss. The jokes are funny because they hit close to home, reminding us of bosses we’ve had who were incompetent or inappropriate or willing to throw anyone else under the bus in order to succeed. But we have to wonder: how do men like Michael Scott get promoted in the first place? And why have so many of us had incompetant bosses?
