Producer

Olympia Stone joined The State of Things in September 2007. She graduated from Barnard College a long time ago and worked in the blood-sucking world of television for over ten years before finding her way to the promised land of public radio. She has helped produce documentaries on topics as varied as Boston’s Big Dig, the drug Ecstasy, Henry Kissinger, and alleged mob boss Whitey Bulger. She also worked on the Emmy award-winning art series, Greater Boston Arts, for WGBH. Olympia started Floating Stone Productions in 2001, and her first film, The Collector: Allan Stone’s Life in Art, was completed in 2007—mostly in her attic.

• Meet J. Bully
  Thursday, February 05 2009 Frank Stasio and Olympia Stone

  Hip-hop music long ago transcended its roots as a distinctly American art form. But one thing hasn't changed: for many inner city kids, hip-hop still offers a way out of the ghetto. For hip-hop artist and educator J. Bully, rapping helped him survive grade school. But it became much more than a hobby: after starting his own record label in Atlanta, Bully moved back to North Carolina and got a job teaching hip-hop appreciation at Duke University.

• Meet Dorothy Redford
  Monday, January 26 2009 Frank Stasio and Olympia Stone

  Before 1977, what Dorothy "Dot" Redford knew about her family's ancestry ended with her grandparents. That changed after Dot, like many Americans, watched the landmark television miniseries "Roots." Thus began a decade-long journey of discovery that changed Dot Redford's life and the lives of many families. After years of tireless research, she traced her ancestry to one of the largest plantations in North Carolina, Somerset Place. She turned Somerset Place into a unique North Carolina resource: It is the only plantation in the state that is a designated historic site and a living museum. Dot Redford joins host Frank Stasio to discuss her unique upbringing and how her obsessive nature enabled her to piece together a previously invisible family history.
