Noah Adams is an American broadcast journalist and author, known primarily since 1987 from National Public Radio.

Career

A former co-host of the daily All Things Considered program, Adams is currently the contributing correspondent at the network's National Desk. His books tend to document a full year in his life, specifically as that year relates to a particular passion or research project. He wrote and narrated a documentary called Father Cares: The Last of Jonestown in 1981, which earned him the Prix Italia, the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, and the Major Armstrong Award. Adams was the host of the nationally syndicated Minnesota Public Radio variety show Good Evening, created in 1987 to replace A Prairie Home Companion after that show left the air. Good Evening ran for less than a year before being canceled; A Prairie Home Companion returned after a several-year hiatus.

Personal life

Adams was born in Ashland, Kentucky. He is married to Neenah Ellis, and they live in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
