CPB's Bruce Theriault Talks Producers
Interview by Peter Clowney
Bruce Theriault's thoughts about public radio, its strengths, promise and risks, wind up affecting most people in our business.
Good thing he's a superfan.
Theriault is senior vice president for radio at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Early in his radio career, Theriault says, he realized that he wouldn't be the talent making the content. He dabbled in production and reporting, but others were better at it. He says his real skill is clearing the way, making room for great radio to be produced and heard. And Theriault's done that, from Alaska Public Radio to PRI to Public Radio Capital. For the past three years, he's led radio strategy at CPB, focusing on what he calls the "three D's" — dialogue, diversity, and digital.
