Music

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

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 served as 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 andCohn 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]
