Veteran public radio reporter Scott Pohl is retiring April 30 after more than 35 years with WKAR.

An era is coming to an end at WKAR.   On Thursday, our senior news reporter Scott Pohl is calling it a career.  Scott’s contribution to WKAR over the last 35 years has been so immense and so meaningful that there’s just not enough time to tell him how grateful we are for all he’s done.  But  Scott is our dear friend.  So we have to try.

  

 

Kevin Lavery served as a general assignment reporter and occasional local host for Morning Edition and All Things Considered before retiring in 2023.
