Biography
As the host and senior producer of Outside/In, Nate loves stories that entertain, probe and leave you with more questions than answers — in a good way. He's traveled all over the country, from reporting on the hidden history of the world's first atomic bomb explosion in New Mexico to investigating a pair of shady competitive dogsledders in Alaska. Nate's work has aired on NPR, BBC, CBC and other outlets. Since becoming a public radio nerd nearly a decade ago, Nate has won multiple national awards for his reporting, including the 2020 Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize. When he isn't in the field or hunched over his laptop, he likes hanging out with his three dogs and taking long road trips with his wife, Christine.
