Jeremy Hobson has worked for All Things Considered, Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me…, Day to Day, NPR News, and Marketplace. How did he do so much in such little time? He started making radio when he was nine. This is a first in a new series of interviews I’ll be doing with professional radio makers who started out as Youngs. We still need a name for this segment. Give us a suggestion and we’ll give you a t-shirt.

The interview opens with me mentioning Ollie, Jeremy’s brother, who I work with here in Chicago, and who tipped me off to his brother’s storied public radio history.
