Hey!

I’m Brandon Kondritz.

I’m a Chicago-based content creator & multimedia-focused student journalist at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, Media & Integrated Marketing Communications.

About me

Brandon Kondritz smiles at the camera with his arms crossed

My work is featured on NPR!

The day I ditched my devices was 1 of 10 finalists in the 2023 Student Podcast Challenge!

I’m so proud to be featured alongside 9 other students who all tell equally meaningful stories themselves. I consider it such a high honor that my work is reaching the ears of NPR’s thousands of listeners.

Listen to my podcast here and the other finalists’ here.
