Contributors and Staff
Metro Connection is produced by the WAMU news room with the same attention to detail and technical standards as NPR's weekly news magazines. Additionally, the program is joined by contributors from around the D.C. Metropolitan Area who lend their own knowledge and love of the area to a deeper understanding of the place we all call "home".

Producer David Furst has been with WAMU since 1997. He began as a reporter, working on local segments for Morning Edition and producing news pieces for Metro Connection, WAMU's local news magazine. Now he is the Host and Producer of Metro Connection -- which basically means he has to make sure there isn't any "dead-air" on 88.5 FM between 1 PM and 2 PM every Friday.
