Alston and Siegel to Host Mornings on WGBH/Boston

Paris Alston and Jeremy Siegel

News/Talk WGBH-FM (GBH News)/Boston taps Paris Alston and Jeremy Siegel as the new co-hosts of Morning Edition in early 2022. Alston returns to WGBH after working at crosstown NPR WBUR-FM. He's also the host of the NPR podcast, "Consider This," produced in collaboration with GBH. Siegel is the host and producer of the daily news podcast, "Politico Dispatch" and has anchored news at KQED/San Francisco.

WGBH GM/News Pam Johnson commented, "Our audiences have told us that mornings matter most when it comes to news. They look to us to get the information they need and set the tone for the day ahead. With Paris and Jeremy as co-hosts of Morning Edition at GBH News, our audiences will get local stories from different perspectives. They'll engage with a pair of dynamic, smart and accomplished journalists who possess a real knack for understanding and dissecting the complex stories of our time."

Alston and Siegel succeed Joe Mathieu, who exits to join Bloomberg's "Sound On" podcast.
