Jeff Tiberii
Host, "Due South"Partnering with his longtime colleague Leoneda Inge, Jeff Tiberii is a co-host of Due South, WUNC’s new daily show. A graduate of the Newhouse School at Syracuse University, Jeff has been in public radio for 20 years. He was a Morning Edition host at member station WFDD (Winston-Salem), before joining WUNC in 2011. After reporting on a wide range of topics as the Greensboro Bureau Chief, Jeff moved over to politics. During his eight-year stint as Capitol Bureau Chief, he covered state and federal politics, produced a radio documentary, launched a podcast, and was named North Carolina Radio Reporter of the Year four times. He regularly filed stories for NPR, and his work has also appeared on the BBC, American Public Media, and PBS. Jeff lives in Raleigh with his wife and two young children. He is writing his first book, hopes to hike the entire Mountains-to-Sea trail, and is a left-handed cynic. He believes co-hosting Due South is a once-in-a-career opportunity, and is excited to tell an array of southern stories.
