Jill has been reporting, producing features and commentaries, and hosting shows at NEPR since 2005. Before that she spent almost 10 years at WBUR in Boston, five of them producing PRI鈥檚 鈥�The Connection鈥� with Christopher Lydon. In the months leading up to the 2000 primary in New Hampshire, Jill hosted NHPR鈥檚 daily talk show, and subsequently hosted NPR鈥檚 All Things Consideredduring the South Carolina Primary weekend. Right before coming to NEPR, Jill was an editor at PRI's The World, working with station based reporters on the international stories in their own domestic backyards. Getting people to tell her their stories, she says, never gets old.
