Massachusetts Congressman Richard Neal on marathon bombings

Rep. Richard Neal

A short time ago, WAMC’s Ian Pickus spoke with Massachusetts Congressman Richard Neal, a longtime Democrat from the first district, who says he has been in contact with the rest of the delegation and the White House as the commonwealth considers its next steps following yesterday’s deadly attacks on the Boston Marathon.

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.
