Bob August

Bob August, a New Jersey native, is no stranger to public media. After graduating from Emerson College in Boston, he returned to the North Jersey/New York metro area where he began his career as a traffic reporter for various radio stations, including NPR affiliate WNYC — and later WPLN, after moving to Nashville in the mid '90s. He could additionally be heard from time to time as a fund drive announcer for Detroit Public Television.
