Dr. Steven Leibo of the Sage Colleges has been a regular observer of world politics, the climate and American democracy for WAMC for some 25 years. Now, he is about to become a commentator emeritus, deciding to hang it up after all this time. But first he came around one more time for this conversation.

A lifelong resident of the Capital Region, Ian joined WAMC in late 2008 and became news director in 2013. He began working on Morning Edition and has produced The Capitol Connection, Congressional Corner, and several other WAMC programs. Ian can also be heard as the host of the WAMC News Podcast and on The Roundtable and various newscasts. Ian holds a BA in English and journalism and an MA in English, both from the University at Albany, where he has taught journalism since 2013.
