Alix Spiegel is an American public radio producer and science journalist who has worked on "This American Life" and for National Public Radio. She currently hosts and produces the NPR program "Invisibilia" with Hanna Rosin.
She began her career in 1995 as one of the founding producers of the public radio program "This American Life." While there, Spiegel produced her first psychology story, which ultimately led to her focus on human behavior. It was a piece called 81 Words, and it examined the history behind the removal of homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
In January 2015, Spiegel joined NPR Science Reporter Lulu Miller to co-host "Invisibilia," a series from NPR about the unseen forces that control human behavior – our ideas, beliefs, assumptions, and thoughts. "Invisibilia" interweaves personal stories with fascinating psychological and brain science, in a way that ultimately makes you see your own life differently. Excerpts of the show are featured on the NPR News programs Morning Edition and All Things Considered. The program is also available as a podcast.
Over the course of her career in public radio, Spiegel has won many awards including a George Foster Peabody Award, a Livingston Award, an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, a Scripps Howard National Journalism Award, and a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award.
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Spiegel graduated from Oberlin College. Her work on human behavior has also appeared in The New Yorker magazine and The New York Times.
