WNYC New York has named science journalist Molly Webster co-host of "Radiolab" alongside Latif Nasser. Webster, who has spent 14 years as a reporter, producer and guest host on the public radio show and podcast, steps into the role ahead of its 25th anniversary in 2027.

Webster succeeds Lulu Miller, who will focus full time on "Terrestrials," the "Radiolab" podcast for kids and families that she created and hosts. Miller will continue to appear on "Radiolab" as a regular correspondent and guest host.

Webster joined "Radiolab" as an associate producer in 2012 and went on to become a features producer and guest host. In 2020, she became the show's first senior correspondent. She developed, reported and hosted "Gonads," a six-part podcast and live event series exploring the science of human reproduction. Her work has also appeared in The New York Times, Scientific American, Science Friday and National Geographic Adventure.

"Molly has a remarkable ability to approach complex science with a refreshingly human perspective," said Sarah Sandbach, Executive Producer of "Radiolab" and "Terrestrials."

"My interests have always taken me to the intersection of science and humanity, and Radiolab has given me the freedom to explore that territory in surprising ways," Webster said.

"Radiolab" will begin a yearlong anniversary celebration in January 2027, with details on special episodes, new series and live events to be announced in the coming weeks.
