Kerry Sheridan, WUSF

I cover health and K-12 education – two topics that have overlapped a lot since the pandemic began. Every other week, you’ll hear me hosting the local portion of All Things Considered, live from our studios at USF Sarasota-Manatee. Before joining WUSF, I reported for Agence France-Presse (AFP), and had the chance to work in places like Nicosia, Tbilisi, Baku, Beirut, Cairo, Gaza and Jerusalem – as well as DC and Miami. I’ve learned about the world by seeing some of it, and by talking to people. I strive to amplify diverse voices in our quest to inform the public through fact-based reporting. And if we schedule an interview that I say will last about 15 minutes, expect it to go at least 30. When I’m not on a story, you might find me chaperoning a field trip, honing my percussion skills, or sweating in a hot yoga studio.
