Go West, Young Man: Arun Rath Lands Dream Job At Weekend 'All Things Considered'

WAMC listeners noticed a new voice on the air in September when Arun Rath took over the host’s chair at NPR’s Weekend All Things Considered, which is now broadcasting from NPR West in Culver City, Calif.

Rath has worked as a reporter, anchor and producer during his journalistic career for several programs including PBS’s Frontline, NPR’s On the Media, and PRI’s Studio 360. But he got his start as an intern for the now-defunct Talk of the Nation, eventually becoming the show’s director.

Rath and weekend All Things Considered can be heard on WAMC Saturdays and Sundays at 5.

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.
