Jennifer Brandel is the Senior Producer of WBEZ's Curious City.
"I don’t think that soft or fluffy news should be given such a bad rap. When you have a question that ignites someone’s curiosity and gets them interested in thinking about the world in a different way or considering things they haven’t done before, that is important. If you can accomplish that in your stories, they’re not fluffy — they’re interesting."
