Lindsey Wehking

Lindsey Wehking is the Chief Investigative Strategy Officer at Nonfiction Research.

Nonfiction explores the hidden parts of American life through immersive research. Their researchers have sat beside patients in hospitals, inmates in prison, and have interviewed Atlanta rappers while rollerblading. Nonfiction’s findings have been featured by ABC News, Axios, MSNBC, Fox News, and FastCompany. Their work has inspired public service campaigns, a division at Disney, new flavors of Doritos, and a Megan Thee Stallion song.

Lindsey is the author of The Invisible Weight, a report and podcast on the hidden emotional experiences of pregnancy and the lack of emotional care in the U.S Healthcare system. She has also authored America’s Secret Playlists, a report on the secret lives hidden within Spotify playlists, and Saving America from the News, a study of what Americans really want from journalism. Her quest for more emotional realism in research has brought her into hip hop therapy groups, sex cults, ayahuasca retreats, illegal gas station casinos, Insane Clown Posse concerts and deep into the inner lives of everyday Americans.
