Bloomberg Industry Group names podcast editor

David Schultz

Josh Block, executive producer for video and audio at Bloomberg Industry Group, sent out the following announcement on Wednesday:

Colleagues,

I’m pleased to share that David Schultz will be joining the news division’s podcast team to produce and edit our weekly podcasts Cases & ControversiesTalking Tax, and our newest, Downballot Counts.

He’ll also continue to host and produce, Parts Per Billion. If you haven’t listened to that podcast, check out this episode about the Maine dairy farmer who discovered his land had been polluted by PFAS chemicals.

As many of you know David joined Bloomberg Industry Group in 2014. As a reporter for Bloomberg Environment he has covered pesticides, GMOs, and water pollution among other topics. In addition to Parts Per Billion, he was a co-host and reporter on our most downloaded podcast series, Business of Bees. During his reporting on that project he had the opportunity to visit a cold storage bee morgue in College Park, Md. He recommends you check it out before it becomes a hot tourist attraction.

Prior to joining Bloomberg Industry Group, David produced radio stories for NPR, including contributions to Morning Edition and All Things Considered, like this one about a loophole that allows discrimination based on your genome. Before that he worked as a reporter at the public radio station, WAMU.

David will help us enhance the high quality audio stories we’re producing for our subscribers about legal, tax, government, and environment topics.

He starts with the podcast team on Monday. Please join me in congratulating him on his new role.
