Reginald David
Producer, Up To DateAs an assistant producer on Up To Date, my goal is to amplify voices of people who serve as pioneers in their respective fields while shedding light on issues that affect underserved communities. I produce daily conversations to uplift and inspire the people of the Kansas City area to make the world a better place. You can reach me at reginalddavid@kcur.org.
I started at KCUR as a production intern on Up To Date in January 2021, before being hired on as an assistant producer in May 2021. I previously interned with WNPR, Connecticut’s NPR station, as its Integrity in Journalism intern.
I graduated from Avila University with a BA in Communication in 2020. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music and debating about sports.
