University of Minnesota Press, est. 1925, turns 100 this year. Yes, we are twice as old as Saturday Night Live. And just as old as The New Yorker and The Great Gatsby. The Press has had only five directors in its history, and many current staff have been on for more than a few decades.How about another serendipitous milestone: this podcast, est. 2020, is releasing its 100th episode right here, right now. The past 99 episodes have focused on our authors. Between authorship and publication, a book passes through more than a few hands, and today we are getting into it with people who have dedicated their days, years, and decades in service of books and research. About half of our staff are represented here. Without further adieu, come meet (half of) the Press!People appearing in this episode include:Douglas Armato, director of University of Minnesota PressSusan Doerr, associate directorEmily Hamilton, associate director for book publishingLaura Westlund, managing editor and development officerJason Weidemann, editorial directorPieter Martin, senior editorMichael Stoffel, managing editor–scholarly booksHeather Skinner, publicity director and assistant marketing managerRachel Moeller, assistant production manager and art directorErik Anderson, senior acquisitions editorMaggie Sattler, digital marketing managerEric Lundgren, development and outreach managerEliza Edwards, production assistantEmma Saks, editorial assistantCarina Bolaños Lewen, exhibits and marketing assistantAnthony Silvestri, journals managerZack Stewart, journals production specialistAlena Rivas, publicity associateKeep up with our centennial at z.umn.edu/ump100.Thank you for listening.
