Angela Becerra Vidergar, PhD

Writer. Teacher. Scholar. Creator.

Nice to meet you!

I am a writer, maker, educator, scholar, and media producer. I thrive in creative collaboration environments and love guiding my students and clients to follow their curiosity and put new ideas into the world. I am the founder and CEO of Cuentista Studio, bringing 20+ years experience in writing and speaking teaching and tutoring, podcast and video production, journalistic writing, corporate communications, and team management.

 

In my personal life I love reading, storytelling, space, LEGO, tabletop and video gaming, making art, engineering and other DIY projects with my family, and volunteering through early childhood education programs.

Writing Portfolio

Notebook and Pen

“Making a sentence sing is a way of making others more likely to listen and ourselves more likely to be understood. A good sentence gives order to our thoughts and takes us out of our solitudes. It is a cure, however fleeting, for human loneliness and for the chronic gulf of incomprehension that divides writer and reader, just as it divides any two of us.”

Joe Moran

ZEITGEIST LAB

In Production. The Zeitgeist Lab podcast delves into cultural trends to find out what makes us tick. Why do we buy what we buy, watch what we watch, and go where we go? We satiate your curiosity for knowing the “why” of your world. Co-hosted with Pavel Rutherford

A children's podcast I host with my son that follows whatever paths we are curious about! It's a fun way to introduce youngsters to basic principles of research.

Research & Education

I am a literary and cultural scholar fascinated with the ways we react to and affect the world around us. I am especially interested in disaster and post-apocalyptic stories; the interactions between science, technology, and culture; multimedia storytelling; methods of narrativizing research; the rhetorical and cultural implications of space exploration; graphic narratives; and popular culture.
