My name...Guy Raz.
NPR employee since...1997.
Public radio listener since...1995.
My job at NPR is...
Host, TED Radio Hourand formerly the weekend host ofAll Things Considered.

I'm not as...serious ...as I sound.

When I go in for a taping, I always have...a photograph of my children in Star Wars costumes.

I use social media to...convince myself that it's all nonsense.

I wanted to be...the President (I'm serious. And I'm laying it bare right here)...when I grew up.

In my suitcase, you'll find...stinky barefoot running shoes long past their expiration date.

Tell Me More about...the cosmos because it.blows.my.mind.

If I could share a coffee with anyone, it would be...someone who doesn't have the H3N2 influenza strain. If we each had our own coffee, probably DJ Shadow, Katy Perry (you have a problem with that?) or Werner Herzog.
