Lucy Copp
Producer, AirTalk with Larry Mantle
(she/her)
What I cover
I gravitate toward conversations about the California prison system, women's health, and religion. But I also love producing segments about gardening and ghost towns.
My background
I began at LAist as an on-call producer in August 2021. Before that, I was a freelance audio producer. I reported a handful of stories for KCRW and WUNC Chapel Hill. I grew up in Providence, R.I., and have a masters in anthropology from USC.
My goals
I want to help listeners feel more connected to each other, to the communities they live in and to this remarkable place we call home — Los Angeles.
