Former NPR foreign correspondent Emily Harris will be hosting OPB's new daily mid-morning talk show, "Think Out Loud":
Emily Harris, who grew up in Oregon, will return home to host the on-air program, after a distinguished reporting career that has taken her to Iraq, Russia, and most recently to Berlin as a European correspondent for NPR. For her work in Iraq, she shared in NPR’s 2004 George Foster Peabody Award for coverage of the war. Harris grew up in Portland, attended Chapman Elementary School, Harriet Tubman Middle School and Lincoln High School. She received her undergraduate degree from Yale University, in Russian and East European studies, and speaks Russian and German. Her grasp of global issues and her strong ties to the Pacific Northwest make her the ideal on-air host of Think Out Loud.
Joining her will be online host David Miller, a "veteran radio producer" who's "a leader at the intersection of radio and online conversation." Show starts in January, and will draw heavily on the Public Insight Network of listener/experts.
Sounds like the recipe for another lame production.
