@krmaher Congratulations! An inspired and inspiring move for all involved. Public Radio and the Internet have much still to learn and gain from each other, and the opportunity and need couldn’t be greater. Excited to see you lead and build what’s next.

Big news: I’m delighted to announce that I will be taking up the position of CEO of NPR starting in late March. NPR has been a lifelong part of my soundscape, and I credit its reporting with sparking my curiosity that set me onto the path to become the person I am today.

@JadAbumrad Congratulations Jad! As with all you touch, I’m sure this will be a thoughtful and graceful and interesting transition. I remember those basement days of Radiolab well - many seeds planted back then. Congrats also to your remarkable @radiolab team - can’t wait to hear what’s next

Hey everybody. I have some big personal news. I am stepping aside as host of Radiolab. This show that I started in 2002 - in my basement - is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and this feels like the right time. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radio… (1/6)
