Brooklyn native David Krasnow got his start in radio at age 17 at WESU-Middletown (CT.), where he spun (on vinyl) everything from indie rock to free jazz to north Texas conjunto. He worked in print as an editor and writer covering music, furniture design, American history, land use, and the politics of health care. Formerly the reviews editor of Artforum, he has written for the Village Voice, Jazz Times, Metropolis, The New York Observer, The Wire, and other publications, and remains a contributing editor for Bomb. Currently the senior editor of PRI's Studio 360, Krasnow began producing stories for the show in 2001, and joined the staff in 2003.
