Besides being evening news anchor for All Things Considered, WBOI's Ben Clemmer gets a creative workout each week as producer host of WBOI Presents and facilitates the station's growing number of podcast series.
To implement these and other station projects, he has also established an Intern/Work study program for students enrolled in area colleges and universities.
As part of her ongoing Behind the Mic series, WBOI's Julia Meek caught up with Clemmer by phone to learn how and why these projects fuel his passion for public radio.
WBOI Presents can be heard every Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday morning at 7:00 a.m. at 89.1WBOI or listen online at the WBOI website.
