“Full Disclosure” picked up by NPR One

“Full Disclosure,” a radio show launched a year ago by business journalist Roben Farzad, has been picked up by NPR One.

“I’m grateful,” said Farzad in an email to Talking Biz News. “Exciting times in the evolution of radio. If nothing else, I have a face for this line of work.”

NPR One is the audio app that connects readers to a stream of public radio news and stories.

“Full Disclosure” airs out of Richmond, Va., and aims to give listeners a better understanding of business, economics, international affairs and investing through humor, personality and candor. The show features major personalities and influencers, from cabinet secretaries to hedge fund managers, economists, rock acts, kingpins and elected officials.

Farzad is a former BusinessWeek and Bloomberg journalist. Farzad has also written for the New York Times, Boston Globe, and Wall Street Journal, and appeared on NPR, CNBC, PBS, CNN, and BBC News. A graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Business School, Farzad began his career at Goldman Sachs.
