Early life and education

Antolini grew up in Maine. She attended Stanford University, and in 2001, she transferred to Hampshire College in Massachusetts, originally with interest in "jazz vocals", but switched to Ethnomusicology when she said she preferred writing about music than performing it. She also took a break from school to intern with Smithsonian Folkways and to attend the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies over in Portland, Maine.[2][3] She graduated from Hampshire in 2004.[4]

As part of her 2015 UC Berkeley fellowship she produced a radio documentary titled "Fighting for the Promised Land: A Story of Farming and Racism", which was then featured by the Third Coast International Audio Festival.[18]

In 2017, she joined Pop-Up Magazine[19] as a senior story producer and co-host, which consists of stories presented to a live audience, and not recorded for future viewing.[1][20][21]

In 2018, Antolini published a book with Israeli American chef Alon Shaya[22] called Shaya: An Odyssey of Food, My Journey Back to Israel.[23][24] It was said to be a "a must-read book for up-and-coming chefs" in Publishers Weekly,[25] and "a cookbook worth slowing down for" by Brooklyn Based.[26]

In 2020 she wrote articles on topics including as Maori Activists,[27] and a review of a book concerning intimacy after grief.[28]

Antolini, an academic in Slavic linguistics and a choir director at Bowdoin College.[31][32] She is the granddaughter of Richard Lyman, a professor and former president at Stanford University.[33]
