Producer, AirTalk with Larry Mantle
What I cover
As an AirTalk producer, no topic is off limits. "I would like to know more about this" seems to be the litmus test for whether or not I'll hop on covering something. I help find the right people to talk with Larry about the day's biggest news, and curate topics that pique listener curiosity.
My background
I joined the AirTalk team out of college as an apprentice, bounced around from the L.A. Times to the Marketplace team before rejoining the LAist here as a producer. I'm from the heart of California's central valley, Manteca.
My goals
To get YOU the listener to think, "Huh, I didn't know that," about a new topic every single day.
