Dacia Clay

Dacia began her career in public radio as the Audio Librarian for Houston Public Media (then KUHF) in 2009. She earned her Master of Library Science degree from the University of North Texas’ School of Library and Information Science, where she focused on special collections (thanks to the sage advice of NPR librarian, Kee Malesky).

Dacia is a web editor and writer, and a social media manager for both the News and Arts and Culture departments at HPM. She created, and now hosts and co-produces, the weekly Classical Classroom podcast. She also produces a series on writers and writing called Writing the City for which she interviews authors like Jonathan Safran Foer and produces short audio documentaries. Her work can often be heard on Houston Public Media’s daily public affairs show, Houston Matters, and occasionally on News 88.7 during Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

She’s a big believer in the power that public media has to inform and serve the public. In her spare time, Dacia likes to run, write, and hang out with her gigantic cat, Gus.
