Furukawa Named Host Of ‘ATC’ On NHPR
Furukawa, a 2020 graduate of Western Washington University, joined NHPR more than a year ago as a fellow, working as an ATC producer, quickly growing in that role, bringing creativity, intelligence and care to her work. Furukawa has hosted the show on an interim basis since May and brings her own life experience and outlook to the job. She’s also an emerging star of NHPR’s new TikTok feed.
“I came to NHPR thinking I’d mostly be behind the scenes, not behind the microphone,” Furukawa said. “But the team here has given me the chance to grow into a role I’ve always dreamt of being in and I couldn’t be more grateful and excited for what’s to come.”
• All Things Considered is NPR’s flagship news program that premiered in May 1971. NHPR has aired the show since its founding in 1981.
