KCBX Central Coast Public Radio is presenting a candid in-person discussion with two prominent NPR Journalists: Nathan Rott, NPR’s Climate & Environment Correspondent and Kelly McEvers, host of NPR’s Embedded podcast and previous host of NPR’s news program, All Things Considered. The event will take place on March 9, 2024, at 7 p.m., at SLO Brew Rock. Both Rott and McEvers have worked for NPR in varying roles and will share their experiences reporting on the global climate and from war zones.
As a correspondent on NPR’s National Desk, Rott primarily focuses on environmental issues and the American West. He has also spent time in Ukraine, reporting on the current war. In addition to serving as the host of NPR’s All Things Considered, McEvers has spent most of her career as an international correspondent, reporting from Asia, the former Soviet Union, and the Middle East.
