Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Guy Raz is an American journalist and podcaster. After degrees at Brandeis and Cambridge, and early positions writing for newspapers, Raz began work with NPR. There, he went on to serve as their bureau chief in Berlin (2000-2002) and London (2002-2004), and as their Pentagon correspondent (2006-2008), with an intervening stint as a CNN correspondent in Jerusalem (2004-2006). He went on to host NPR's Weekend All Things Considered (2009-2012) and then their TED Radio Hour (2012-2019). He followed this by creating the new NPR programs, How I Built This (2016), Wow in the World (2017), Wisdom from the Top (2019), and The Great Creators (2022). In 2018, NPR noted, along with The New York Times, that Raz was, at that time, the only person to ever have had three podcasts simultaneously among Apple’s top 20 programs.
