atCentral: NPR’s Peter Breslow & John Burnett

Peter Breslow roamed the planet for NPR’s All Things Considered. He’s joined in discussion with retired Austin NPR correspondent John Burnett.
Co-sponsored with KUT 90.5
Packed with absurd hijinks, hilarious missteps and breathtaking close calls, Breslow’s memoir Outtakes: Stumbling Around the World for NPR is a must-read for NPR fans, journalists of all ages, and people interested in enthralling audio storytelling.
Breslow has produced coverage of history-defining breaking news events, played table tennis with a Central American revolutionary and underwater hockey with The Beltway Bottom Feeders; and he’s had his microphone splattered with rattlesnake venom. Over his many years at NPR, Peter has won numerous journalism honors, including two Peabody Awards.
John Burnett is the retired Austin-based NPR National Correspondent. During his career he filed stories from more than 30 countries, covering wars, hurricanes, religion, and most recently a divided America. Among other awards, Burnett won three national Edward R. Murrow Awards for his continuing coverage of the immigration beat.
