Claudia Taranto has worked at ABC Radio National since 1988 on a variety of programs including Life Matters, Street Stories and The Listening Room. She also taught radio production to Indigenous Australians at James Cook University in the mid 1990s. Claudia briefly tried her hand at television reporting on the long-defunct ABC TV programme People Dimensions, but found the intimacy of radio much more to her liking. She has a passion for making radio features about the kaleidoscope of ordinary life.
