More about Ken for the mildly curious:
I’ve been WBUR’s “New Media Production Manager” for the last seven + years, though much of my focus these days is wrapping my head around all this Web 2.0 stuff. Prior to entering the hallowed halls of public radio, I was New Media Editor for Masslive.com which is based in the wilds of Western Massachusetts.
My first foray into the world wide web was The Christian Science Monitor, where, as a production assistant, I spent my time doing everything from coffee runs to hacking HTML code to writing news headlines and summaries.
I was born in Malden, Mass, but spent a good deal of my childhood in Upstate New York and some years in southeastern Pennsylvania. My family has deep Massachusetts roots, so it was natural I would end up back here like a salmon returning upriver to spawn.
I am married to my best friend Lily and am blessed with a son, Nathaniel, who is currently nine-years-old and is absolutely obsessed with LEGOs, rocks and fossils. We live in Arlington, MA.

Ken, if you ever decide to move on from WBUR… I want your job… no, seriously.
Well Nick, I have no plans in the near future but if something comes up you’ll be the first to know!
Thanks for all the contributions!
