Anne Hall Levine

Last updated

Anne Hall Levine (born July 19, 1960) is an American radio broadcaster.

Levine was born in New York City to parents Emily and Larry Levine (fashion designer). She was raised in Sands Point, Long Island, where she attended Buckley Country Day School, followed by boarding school at Choate Rosemary Hall. She continued her education at Sarah Lawrence College, studying theatre and literature, and graduated in 1982.

In 1989, after working for her father in the Garment District, she started her own coat line at MDP Designs, Ltd., [1] a manufacturer of women’s coats.

She began her radio career in 1999 as an on-air talent with a terrestrial radio satirical call-in show, What’s Your Diagnosis?, which she continued until 2004, when she moved to her family home on Cape Cod. In 2008, she launched The Anne Levine Show for a weekly broadcast on WOMR-FM. [2] The show features her husband Michael Hill-Levine, and the two delve into pop culture, comic takes on assorted issues, and send-ups of people and places in their lives.

Anne and Michael were featured in 2015 on NPR’s All Things Considered [3] and were written up in The New York Times. [4] They were also included in 2015 as one of ten couples The New York Times featured in a recap of the year’s “how they met” stories. [5]

In March of 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, Anne read an article in The New Yorker about Kraina FM, [6] one of the largest Ukrainian radio networks. The story told of how the station manager, Bogdan Bolkhovetsky, and program director, Roman Davydov, were managing to keep the network on the air throughout Ukraine while hiding in the Carpathian Mountains after their broadcast tower in Kyiv was bombed by the Russians, thus turning the radio station into a force of national resistance. After reading the article, Anne became determined to locate Bolkhovetsky and Davydov in order to help their cause.

She located Bolkhovetsky, who agreed to give her an interview. When a broadcast of the interview [7] caught the interest of station managers at the Pacifica Radio Network, Anne was featured in a Pacifica Network article [8] and was offered a show presenting interviews each week with people coping with the Russian invasion. The show, Ukraine 242 (edited by Pacifica’s Ursula Rudenberg and recorded by Michael Hill-Levine), has been met with some acclaim, including two centerpiece stories in The Cape Cod Times, [9] [10] the inclusion of two Ukraine 242 interviews on the Pacifica Network show, Sprouts, [11] [12] as well as a feature in Patch. [13] Among Anne’s interview subjects on Ukraine 242 are Oleksandra Matviichuk, [14] who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, Iuliia Mendel, [15] former press secretary to President Zelensky, Serhii Plokhy, [16] director of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, and a wide array of authors, physicians, heads of NGOs, experts in warcraft, and authors.
