Kate Wells is a Peabody Award-winning journalist and co-host of the Michigan Public and NPR podcast Believed.
The series was widely ranked among the best of the year, drawing millions of downloads and numerous awards. She and co-host Lindsey Smith received the prestigious Livingston Award for Young Journalists. Judges described their work as "a haunting and multifaceted account of U.S.A. Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar’s belated arrest and an intimate look at how an army of women – a detective, a prosecutor and survivors – brought down the serial sex offender."
Wells and her family live in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
