Sarah Koenig is a public radio personality, former producer of the television and radio program, "This American Life", and the host and executive producer of the podcast Serial.

Koenig graduated from the University of Chicago in 1990 and began reporting for the East Hampton Star in New York. She worked for both ABC News and the New York Times in Russia, covering State House politics for the Concord Monitor and the Baltimore Sun. In 2004, she became a producer on "This American Life", winning a Peabody Award in 2006.

In 2013, she began work on a spin-off from "This American Life" called "Serial". The podcast, which first aired in 2014, was unusual both for its long-form, serialized reporting and for the fact that the producers and reporters continued to uncover new facts as the series went on, making it impossible to predict how the show would end.
