The national conversation, launched just before the inauguration of President Trump, takes on some of the most pressing issues of our time. It's produced by WAMU in Washington, D.C. and distributed by National Public Radio.
Before taking the helm at 1A, Johnson hosted Truth Be Told, a public radio series which explored race in America, and was a morning host at KQED in San Francisco. He grew up in West Palm Beach, Fla.
