Jim Wildman
Producer

Producer Jim Wildman was hired by Morning Edition in 1997 to play center field for the NPR softball team. For him, it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream -- for the team, it meant the average player age dropped to 47. Jim originally wanted to be a bird (ask his parents). But when that didn't work out, he threw himself into baseball, soccer, singing -- then radio. He helped run an Olympics news agency during the 1996 Atlanta Games. (Instead of pins, Jim collected free T-shirts.) When he and his family moved to Washington, he quickly learned that an NPR job doesn't come with a lot of free T-shirts. It's a wonderful job, though, and he's been blessed to have the opportunity to tell OTHER people's stories for so long. Play ball!
