Courtenay Hameister

Courtenay Hameister is a professional nervous person. During her twelve years as host and head writer for Live Wire , a nationally-syndicated public radio show, she interviewed over 500 intimidating people and wrote 200 personal essays in bursts of anxiety-fueled inspiration at midnight the night before each show. Her work has also been featured in McSweeney's , APM's Marketplace , More Magazine , and some scathing emails to the customer service department at Macy's.
