Dan Blumberg

Dan joined the station in 2004 as producer of WNYC’s All Things Considered and later moved on to Morning Edition. He works closely with the show’s host to keep the content interesting and fresh. He also handles breaking news, such as the transit strike, and reports on a variety of stories, ranging from the court battle over same sex marriage to the efforts to bring a NASCAR race track to Staten Island.

Prior to joining WNYC, Dan worked at WBEZ Chicago Public Radio for more than two years. There he rose from intern to produce the station’s 2002 election coverage and became an associate editor and director of Eight Forty-Eight, a daily news and cultural affairs show. Dan is proud to say he grew up on Roosevelt Island and, though he has since moved on to Brooklyn, he happened to be there the night a power failure left the tram stuck over the East River for hours on end. Dan got his start in radio at Wesleyan University’s WESU where he hosted a jazz music show and called play by play for baseball and football games.
