Geoffrey Riley
Geoffrey Riley marked his tenth anniversary as the full-time host of the Jefferson Exchange at the end of 2019, and his 35th anniversary as a Rogue Valley broadcaster followed soon after.
His first exposure to JPR came as a dedicated listener, then Geoff came to the Exchange as a back-up host in the fall of 2000. He values the time--two full hours each day--that the Exchange can use to explore issues of the region and the world in great depth and detail.
Geoff is a New York native, with stints in broadcast news in Missouri, Alabama, and Wisconsin before his arrival in Oregon. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
