NPR has announced it is adding reporter Miles Parks to the NPR Politics Podcast as a regular co-host for the popular program.
Parks will join Tamara Keith and Sarah McCammon for the show. Currently, Parks serves as a reporter for the network’s Washington Desk, where he covers election security and voting-related issues. He’ll continue in that role, in addition to his work with the podcast.
“I love being on this show for the same reasons I fell in love with it as a listener 10 years ago,” said Parks. “Our format allows a level of detail and nuance that feels refreshing in the era of social media politics. The current moment often feels impossible to fully understand, but I’m honored and excited to get to the bottom of it with our listeners.”
Miles Parks has been with the network since 2014, after previously working at The Washington Post and The Lakeland Ledger in Florida.
Parks joins the NPR Politics Podcast as it gets set to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Launching in 2015, the program routinely finishes in the top 50 most-listened to podcasts in rankings from Triton Digital and Podtrac. The show is set to record a live show at the network’s Washington, D.C. headquarters on Thursday, October 30th.
