2020 Program Speakers
Jerome McDonnell
Jerome McDonnell is a renowned radio personality who was the host of WBEZ’s global affairs program Worldview for more than 25 years. Jerome joined WBEZ in 1984 as an intern thinking this would be a quick “Peace Corps like” broadcasting experience. But suddenly he was producing a business program and then a Saturday morning calendar program. These days his picture is in the dictionary under “public radio lifer." McDonnell produced the internationally focused program Midday with Sondra Gair and took over as host after Sondra passed away. Jerome believes broadcasting’s highest calling is to bring people together to make difference.
