Bud Gundy is a writer, producer, director and on-air host at KQED, the PBS and NPR affiliate for Northern California. In 2003, he received an Emmy Award for producing Lonely Island: Hidden Alcatraz, a documentary about Alcatraz Island, a San Francisco landmark, and was nominated for two other works.
Bud grew up in North Olmsted, Ohio, a western suburb of Cleveland. He attended St. Edward High School, graduating in 1982, followed by five years at Cleveland State University where he graduated with a degree in Political Science.
He began his television career in 1983 as the Program Director at the Nationality Broadcasting Network in Lakewood, Ohio, a job which has given him a lifetime of funny stories to share. Following that, he worked as a Desk Assistant, Associate Producer and Producer for the various newscasts at WKYC, the NBC affiliate in Cleveland, Ohio. The stories from Channel 3 aren't as funny, but perhaps more illuminating. After stints as a business reporter and a marketing executive in Northern California, he joined San Francisco's KQED in 1994, and loves the environment and dedication to the audience at PBS and NPR. You can see and hear him on-air, asking for support during those annoying pledge drives.
The first in his trilogy of Elf Gift novels has been published, and you can read a review by clicking here. His next novel, The Elephant Lady, will be published soon.
Have a look at his recent book signing.
Here are some photos in the radio and TV studios with Bud and frequent co-host Michelle Henagan. Guess which one is radio?
