Rob Wood
Morning News Producer, Host
About
On most days, Rob heads to KUOW in the wee small hours to begin writing, editing and producing for our morning news magazine. You’ll also hear him hosting from time to time. Rob arrived at KUOW after several years of producing at NPR and public radio programs, including Marketplace, Weekend America and The Savvy Traveler. Before graduating from the University of North Texas with his music degree, Rob volunteered at the school’s radio station, learning everything from cutting tape to hosting news and music programs. His experience there led to his first professional reporting job at an all-news station in Dallas. Since then, Rob’s also reported, produced and anchored at other stations in Dallas and Los Angeles, and has done freelance work for a number of news organizations.
