KFPR Redding is off the air due to a planned power outage. This also impacts our Dunsmuir and Burney translators. PG&E expects power to be restored by end of day today, January 20th. We appreciate your patience.

Ken Devol

Anchor, All Things Considered

Ken came to NSPR through the back door as a volunteer, doing all the things that volunteers do. Almost nothing – nothing -- in his previous work experience suggests that he would ever be on public radio.

His resume is nearly Frankensteinian with one disparate job sutured to another: California Department of Parks and Recreation, marina employee, archaeological field technician, electrician, woodworker, furniture import, and 20 years in manufacturing management. He was an English major.

He’s traveled some. He likes to sail and writes fraudulent poetry. And now he’s in radio -- another unlikely part is sewn into the whole. And he loves it.
