Thank you, Allan!

I intend to give this my all, to do it right β to be fair, diligent, and dogged from Day 1.
Find me on the air at 90.9 FM and on social, and reach me at ezuckoff@bu.edu (or DM for my cell). Tune in and letβs do this.
β¦almost 8 years ago. I worked on a podcast, a daily news show, and occasionally in the newsroom. Then I left to cut my teeth as a full-time reporterβ¦ all so that someday I could come back to the newsroom I've admired for so long. Iβm deeply grateful to everyone who helped me get hereβ¦
09.05.2025 20:00 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0β¦when it comes to the city β anything youβre worried or excited about β I want to hear it. Reach out to me. Tell your friends to call. Tell your boss to email. Tell your mom to text. Pass around my name and contact at will.
This is where I get to say: I started my career as an intern at WBURβ¦
But everything is on the table: from laws and taxes, to the city's economy and business community, to police and city services, to housing, real estate, and the rising cost of living.
So my next step is to talk with people in every corner of Greater Boston. Anything that youβre talking aboutβ¦
OK, itβs time. Iβm thrilled to share that Iβll be covering breaking news, general assignment and enterprise stories for WBUR, Bostonβs NPR station. The work begins May 27.
A big part of my beat will be Boston City Hall β between now and November 4, Iβll be closely following the mayoral race.
Thank you, Suzanne!

β¦ of people and things Iβm endlessly grateful for. All of my WCAI colleagues, family, and friends also belong on it. So while the next gig thrills me, if youβve made it this far, you understand why today is, at the very least, bittersweet.Β
So, my last note is to you:
I am nothing without the generosity of these people across the region. I thank them for their willingness to (re)explain big concepts, to go deeper, to spend 30 more minutes making sure Iβll accurately capture the little stuff just right.
This is the non-exhaustive listβ¦
Iβve embedded with the military and traveled in an Army caravan. Iβve also embedded in a high school cosmetology class β which was much scarier.

02.05.2025 18:46 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Steve, specifically, as my patient and brilliant editor at WCAI, has made me a better writer and person: heβs given structure to impossible-to-structure features, refined my ear to catch the little bits of tape that make a story sing, protected all of you from my worst ideasβ¦
02.05.2025 18:46 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Report for America offered me the opportunity to learn and grow β¦ so I gave it my all. And with RFAβs backing, Steve Junker, Mindy Todd, and Heather Goldstone took a chance on me. Iβll be grateful for it β and to them -- for as long as I live.

02.05.2025 18:46 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Iβm very excited about the next chapter and will be able to share details about where Iβm going next Friday, May 9.Β Β Itβs a big change, one Iβm hungry for, and I hope all of you will come along for the ride.Β
Until then β¦ can I just say that Iβm really sad?

Hours after his inauguration, President DonaldTrump signed an executive order halting new federal leases for offshore wind projects. He cited, as one reason, the impact OSW has on marine life. βIf youβre into whales,β he said, βyou donβt want windmills.β Whale experts say the facts show otherwise. β¬οΈ
