Guy Raz

Guy Raz (; born November 9, 1975) is an American journalist and podcaster. After degrees at Brandeis and Cambridge, and early positions writing for newspapers (including the ''Washington Post''), Raz began work with NPR. There, he went on to serve as their bureau chief in Berlin (2000-2002) and London (2002-2004), and as their Pentagon correspondent (2006-2008), with an intervening stint as a CNN correspondent in Jerusalem (2004-2006). He went on to host NPR's ''Weekend All Things Considered'' (2009-2012) and then their ''TED Radio Hour'' (2012-2019). He followed this by creating the new NPR programs, ''How I Built This'' (2016), ''Wow in the World'' (2017), ''Wisdom from the Top'' (2019), and ''The Great Creators'' (2022). In 2018, NPR noted, along with ''The New York Times,'' that Raz was, at that time, the only person to ever have had three podcasts simultaneously among Apple’s top 20 programs.

Raz has been the recipient of a number of journalistic fellowships and awards, including a Burns Fellowship (1999) and subsequent Burns Award, an RIAS Berlin fellowship (2000) and subsequent RIAS Berlin Award, Harvard's Nieman journalism fellowship (2008), and again in that year, the RTNDA's Edward R. Murrow Award and the Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize (the latter given to a young, rising journalist in public radio), in both cases for a series of reports on military-medical evacuations from Iraq.
