Rachael Norden

Hailing from the not-so distant land of the Sac-Osage Ozarks, Rachael Norden is a renaissance woman of the road less-traveled.

Having foregone the traditional college experience, Rachael joined the KBIA team in May 2023 after spending the last decade forging her own path into a diverse and eclectic career with experiences ranging from banking to graphic design, utility trade work to symphonies, radio/production to festivals, and more, with an emphasis on nonprofit management, finances, and marketing and communications.

Growing up Rachael cultivated a thirst of knowledge, forming a love for sultry voices of radio like Delilah, and historical storytelling through radio and podcast figures Dan Carlin (Hardcore History) and Last Podcast Network’s Marcus Parks. Since then, she’s developed a passion for modern forms of media and broadcasting, accurate and relevant storytelling, humor and authenticity, and bringing those passions together to nurture environments that prioritize fun, educational experiences and push the boundaries of what is considered to be ‘known.’
