Sasa Woodruff
News DirectorWhen I was a University of Utah freshman, I marched up the hill to KUER to hand deliver a $20 check. The receptionist was so excited a teen listened (and donated!) to public radio that she told me to call the news director for an internship. I did and I've been working in media ever since.
I moved to Boise in the fall of 2019 to run the Boise State Public Radio newsroom as news director. I help shape the local stories you hear with a phenomenal team of reporters and hosts.
When I’m not thinking about audio, I’m in the kitchen fermenting cabbages or persimmons and attempting puff pastry or cream puffs. Dosas, Dutch babies and hashbrowns still elude me. For the record, I was into sourdough before it was COVID cool. Oh, and I don’t have a stomach.
