Adjunct Instructor

Louis Mitchell is the Technical Director of The New Yorker Radio Hour, a collaboration between WNYC and The New Yorker. He first joined WNYC in 2015, when he moved from his hometown of Sydney, Australia to work on Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen. Louis has worked as a sound engineer since 1993, when he was hired by EMI’s Studios 301 in Sydney. He has recorded artists including Earth, Wind & Fire, Van Halen, Gurrumul Yunupingu, and The Sydney Symphony Orchestra. In 2002, Louis joined the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, earning multiple honors for his work on radio features including a Walkley Award for “The Day That Changed Grantham." When not in the studio, Louis surfs, DJs, and plays guitar — not usually at the same time.
