Charlie Shelton-Ormond
Podcast ProducerCharlie Shelton-Ormond is an award-winning podcast producer for WUNC. His fascination with audio storytelling came at a young age, listening to books-on-tape in his parents’ car and eventually picking up a microphone and asking people to share their own stories.
Before podcasting, Charlie worked as a producer for WUNC's daily live program “The State of Things,” where he was able to bring his love for North Carolina to the airwaves with shows on popular culture, state politics, and more. Charlie then stepped into on-demand audio and produced for the long-running American history podcast “BackStory.” In 2020, he began building up WUNC’s podcast portfolio and has produced special programs like PAULI and Behind the Lines.
When he isn’t editing audio, Charlie likes to host a weekly music show, get into trouble with his dog Lily, and fire up an old movie.
