Ken Devol
All Things Considered Anchor & ReporterKen 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.

The woman shot and killed in Chico during last week’s police chase drew dozens of family members, co-workers, and friends to mourn the loss. Also, amid ongoing cuts to federal funding nationally, Butte County’s public health department is also bracing for impact, and Woofstock is this Saturday.
