About Ben Merens
Ben Merens has been a talk show host and producer at Wisconsin Public Radio since October
of 1991 when he began as host/producer of "Everybody's Business," a nightly business talk show.
In 1995 he became producer of "Conversations with Kathleen Dunn." At that time he was also
named Ideas Network fill-in host and election-night anchor. Because of Ben's 15-year tenure
at Wisconsin Public Radio, he is a known quantity to Ideas Network listeners.
"I read several newspapers before coming to work in the morning and several more after I
arrive. I'm not just looking for the top stories of the day, but for stories found in the back
of the paper that are every bit as significant to our listeners."
From the time he wakes up in the morning to the time he arrives at work Ben can be found
reading the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Wisconsin State
Journal, watching CNN, and listening to NPR. His afternoon program is dedicated to current
events and hard news although some lighter fare and lifestyle issues are sprinkled in.
As your workday ends and you begin to head home, keep your car radio tuned to Wisconsin
Public Radio for an in-depth review of the day's news - with Ben Merens and his guests.
