OREGON PUBLIC BROADCASTING "STATE OF WONDER" host APRIL BAER is joining MICHIGAN RADIO as the new host of the 3-4p (ET) daily "STATESIDE" show. BAER replaces the retiring CYNTHIA CANTY, beginning JANUARY 6th.

“My experience covering government, legal affairs, military deployments, gun violence, the arts, and other topics leaves me well-prepared for the range of issues STATESIDE explores each day,” said BAER, who formerly worked at IDEASTREAM News-Talk WCPN/CLEVELAND and WYSO/YELLOW SPRINGS-DAYTON, OH. “I treat our work not as a checklist of stories, but as a dynamic space for civil public dialogue.”

“We are thrilled to have APRIL BAER join the MICHIGAN RADIO team,” said Exec. Dir./GM STEVE SCHRAM.  “She is an extremely talented and experienced journalist with a strong understanding of public radio and its core values. The MICHIGAN-focused content of STATESIDE, anchored by an experienced professional like APRIL, will help listeners across the state make sense of the events and issues affecting them.”
