Rob Hochschild
News ReporterRob Hochschild’s professional radio career began in the late 1980s, when he worked as a news reporter at WCIB on Cape Cod. But his obsession with radio—and music—goes back to his childhood near Philadelphia, when he listened to everything from Sixers games to soul music on Philly’s AM and FM dials.
Rob was news director at WKVA (Lewistown, PA) and, later, did anchoring and reporting at Boston NPR news station, WBUR. He's also written for the Boston Globe and Portsmouth (NH), Herald.
While working at Boston’s Berklee College of Music—first in communications and later as a member of the liberal arts faculty—Rob launched a few podcasts featuring interviews with journalists, musicians, writers, and others. He hosted two weekly music shows on Boston's WUMB and did music commentary for WGBH radio.
He moved to Santa Fe in April 2023, and after hosting Mosaic, an eclectic music show, he joined the KSFR news team.
