About Circle Round:

Rebecca Sheir (author) is the host and writer of Circle Round: the award-winning family folktales podcast from WBUR, Boston's NPR. In her prior career as a public-radio host and reporter, Rebecca's voice was heard on such programs as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Here & Now, and Marketplace. Rebecca holds an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Iowa and is the author of the Circle Round picture books series, adapted from four fan-favorite Circle Round episodes and published by Storey Publishing. She's married to Circle Round's composer, Eric Shimelonis.
Eric Shimelonis (musician) is the composer, musician and sound designer of Circle Round. Audiences have enjoyed Eric's classical compositions at the Juilliard School, the Rattlestick New Music Series, the Kennedy Center and at a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall. With more than 300 sound designs in the theater, Eric has won a Helen Hayes Award, and been nominated for Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel, Big Easy and Henry Hewes Design Awards. Film-score highlights include the features International Falls and Winter Passing, for which he performed a duet with Will Ferrell.
