He’ll work to help Angelenos understand how we got here and what reforms aim to change things. He’ll do this through the stories of people struggling with their own mental health and those trying to get care for a loved one. \nHis reporting has taken him to the edge of wildfires in California\, the White Mountains of New Hampshire\, steps away from a robot that’s now exploring Mars\, and into the homes of countless Angelenos. \nRobert has had many jobs in radio. He used to help produce and direct the flagship show for Marketplace\, a daily business and economic news show. He also spent a couple of years in the Northeast working as a reporter. He found his love of audio journalism while interning on LAist’s (formerly KPCC’s) Off-Ramp in 2013. \nHe was born and raised in SoCal. He is most proud when his journalism can help raise the voices of people struggling in this beautiful region stricken by inequality. \nREGISTER HERE
