Matt Purdy

Senior Producer

Before joining the show, he was senior producer of Maryland Morning, a local news show in Baltimore. He was part of a team there that won a 2014 Alfred I. duPont­ Columbia Award for a series on race and inequality in the Baltimore region. His earliest foray into radio, a story about a bicycle trip he took across the United States, won a 2010 ShortDoc Award from the Third Coast Audio Festival.

Before radio, he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Bulgaria (zdravei!). When not producing, he’s likely biking around Boston or trying to not stare at computer screens.
