Marco Werman
Host and Executive Editor of The World
Marco Werman is the host and Executive Editor of the The World from PRX, WGBH and the BBC. Marco leads a team of producers, reporters and contributors who, every weekday, explain the unsettling events and diverse people of the planet for an audience hungry for perspectives from outside the US. On a daily basis, Marco might be talking to a refugee in Syria, a protestor in Hong Kong or Ronan Farrow, artist Ai We Wei or John Kerry in The World’s Boston studios.
Marco was part of the team that created The World and since then has won an Emmy award in 2006 for his Frontline documentary about political changes in Libya. He has reported around the globe in dangerous situations and spent years covering West Africa for the BBC and other news organizations. He also plays jazz and blues violin, and is currently writing a novel based on the life of his grandfather.
Our special guest this year is sponsored by the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
