A Martínez,

A Martinez is a host for Morning Edition and Up First at NPR. Prior to joining NPR in 2021, Martinez was the host of Take Two at KPCC in Los Angeles since 2012. During his tenure, he elevated the voices and perspectives of Angelenos through important forums and live events while providing nuanced coverage on regional challenges such as homelessness, climate change, and systemic disparities in health and education. Martinez also has experience as a sports-talk radio host, having worked at 710 KSPN's In the Zone, and as a pre-and post-game show host for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Lakers. He views his path in public radio as proof that it can be accessible, relatable, and understandable to anyone regardless of their background or educational pedigree.
