My name is Justin Kaufmann and I am the Executive Producer of Schadenfreude from Chicago Public Radio. Schadenfreude is a 30 minute comedy program that showcases the work of Schadenfreude, Chicago's critically acclaimed sketch comedy ensemble. Schadenfreude aired from 2003-05 and is part comedy, part play and part theater of the mind. It is unlike anything on the radio dial today. Under the guidance and direction of General Manager Torey Malatia, Schadenfreude developed into a strong new experimental program for Chicago Public Radio.
I have worked at Chicago Public Radio for eleven years and I have produced programs like "Eight Forty-Eight", "Metropolis" and "Talk of the City". I've also contributed to programs like "TAL" and "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me". I have directed several independent projects ranging from Jazz Festival broadcasts to Election night coverage.
