Gretta Cohn is an American media executive and cellist who is CEO of the podcast network Pushkin Industries.
Music[edit]
Cohn played cello in the rock group Cursive from 2001 to 2005. She left the group in August 2005. Her departure was announced on the Cursive website:
Cursive regrets to announce the departure of cellist Gretta Cohn. After four years in the band, Gretta has decided to leave Omaha to pursue other interests and projects, including a potential solo album. The split is very amicable: the band wishes her well and she in turn eagerly anticipates the new Cursive material to come. Cursive will not be seeking a replacement.[1]
She has collaborated with other artists including the band Twin Thousands. She appeared on 2006's Halloween episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, performing with Cat Power.
Podcasting[edit]
From 2010 to 2014, Cohn produced the WNYC programs Freakonomics Radio[2][3] and Soundcheck.[4] In December 2014, she became a senior producer at the podcast company Midroll Media, where she later was executive producer.[5]
In 2017, Cohn founded Transmitter Media, a company specializing in narrative podcasts.[6] In July 2022, Transmitter Media was acquired by Pushkin Industries and Cohn became Pushkin's senior vice president of content production.[7][8]
In September 2023, Cohn became president of Pushkin as part of a reorganization in which more than 30% of staff were laid off.[9] On January 11, 2024, Cohn was appointed CEO of Pushkin Industries.[10]
