There are many holiday traditions here at WGBH that our employees hold dear: recording our holiday greetings to run on-air, engaging in a heated Yankee Swap with colleagues, and working on our holiday TV special.

Arun Rath recently assumed the position of executive editor/host for 89.7 WGBH’s "All Things Considered."

He’s a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas, where he was the Editor-in-Chief of the student newspaper, The Mercury, and was a DJ for Radio UTD. We sat down with him to ask a few questions:

When we think about scholars of Homer, Plato, Shakespeare or students of Mandarin Chinese and calculus, incarcerated felons aren’t top of mind.
