 | Colin Fogarty fell in love with public radio as a 19–year–old student at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He launched his radio career as a board operator at WMUB, where he spun records for "Mama Jazz." He was always a news junky, but he got hooked on reporting when he covered a 1992 campaign rally with Senator Al Gore. Colin ran across the quad, stuck a microphone in the senator's face and asked a question. When Senator Gore looked Colin in the eye and answered, he knew he had found his calling.
In December 2007, Colin left public radio for a brief stint as a communications consultant for nonprofit organizations. In September 2008, he landed the best job he could imagine as the editor of a talented team of regional correspondents serving 10 public radio stations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Colorado.
Colin lives in Portland with his wife Stephanie, their three children and a dog named Peabody. |
