Jasper Davidoff is a writer, producer and cruciverbalist.
This spring I was an editorial intern at The Christian Science Monitor, where I reported stories, produced for the web and assisted with the daily podcast and weekly magazine.
In 2023, I graduated from Pomona College with a B.A. in anthropology and minor in music. At Pomona, I served as editor-in-chief of The Student Life, the newspaper of the Claremont Colleges. I also previously managed audience engagement for the Evanston RoundTable, my hometown's nonprofit newsroom, and interned for Illinois Public Media in Urbana.

I'm interested in stories about culture, history, science, the built environment and the systems that shape the world around us.
I sometimes make jazz arrangements and can be found playing sax, clarinet, melodica, kazoo or vacuum cleaner, depending on the night. I've been known to spin tracks on KSPC 88.7FM. Ask me about transit, design, maps, popcorn, or puzzles.
