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.
