Robert Benincasa is a senior producer in NPR's Investigations Unit.

Expertise: Communications

My love of public history and community storytelling goes back to my time working for the Museum of History and Industry during high school, where I worked on the Rainy Day History Podcast. This summer, that work continued at the Community Library, where I created the podcast Sheep Stories. I am most proud of a documentary I made in 2023 called City of Fire, about the strange environment surrounding a local tragedy.

I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, and moved to Denver, Colorado, for university. I graduated with a dual degree in Anthropology and History from the University of Denver in Spring of 2025. A few months later, I moved to Ketchum, Idaho and in 2026, I became the Patricia Crandall Lane Trailing of the Sheep Festival Archive Intern, where I produced Season 2 of the podcast Sheep Stories.
