Joshua McNichols
ReporterYear started with KUOW: 2007
Joshua has been the "growing pains" reporter since 2015, documenting the region's growth and change.
Joshua “took the long way” to radio, working in architecture firms for over a decade before pursuing his passion for public radio in 2007.
By "long way," he means he's also been a writer, bicycle courier, commercial fisherman, bed-and-breakfast cook, carpenter, landscaper and stained glass salesman. He’s detailed animal enclosures to prevent jaguars from escaping the Miami Zoo. Once, while managing a construction site in Athens, Greece, he was given a noogie by an Albanian civil war refugee in his employ. “You do not tell those guys how to place stucco,” he said.
All of which has no doubt made him the story-teller he is today.
