Mat Kaplan

Host,
Planetary Radio, Wednesdays from 8:00-8:30pm, on KCPB.

Mat Kaplan knows how fortunate he is to be the host and producer of
Planetary
Radio. He was just 17 when he got his first job in broadcasting. It wasn’t until
Planetary Radio that he was able to combine his love of space exploration with
the fun and excitement of being on the air.

A
Planetary Society staff member for nearly five years, Mat is also who we look to
when an event calls for audiovisual support or a live webcast. He lives in Long
Beach, California, with his wife and two teenage daughters and also works as a
technology and media manager for a local university. His extensive background in
journalism has ranged from public radio reporter covering the political conventions
to movie reviewer for an international magazine. One or two people may even
remember him as a correspondent for a couple of pioneering national TV series
about computers.
