Home | Radio Show | Here and Now (Boston)

Here and Now (Here & Now) is a public radio magazine program produced by WBUR in Boston, Massachusetts, and distributed across the United States by Public Radio International. The one-hour program airs Monday to Friday at noon locally and generally at 11am, noon or 1pm on affiliate stations. The show focuses on US and international news, but also delivers arts and culture coverage, following a radio format divided into five segments: A) news flash; B) feature story; C) secondary news; D) secondary feature; and E) arts and events. While the A, B, and C segments usually involve a telephone or in-studio conversation with a reporter, author, or witness, the D and E segments often involve less conventional interviewees and, occasionally, pieces recorded in the field.

The show first begain airing in 1998, when it was co-hosted by Tovia Smith and Bruce Gellerman. At the time, the show was billed as a local or regional current affairs show, concentrating on newsworthy events throughout the six New England states. The show moved to its current format soon after.

Host Robin Young joined the show in 2000, replacing Smith, and outlasted a series of co-hosts, including founding co-host and executive producer Gellerman. A staff of about ten full-time employees and interns helps her produce the show each day. In 2005, WBUR had announced that the show would return to its roots as a local current affairs program, but a distribution deal with PRI changed that plan.
