Polly Stryker
Senior Producer, Health Dialogues

Polly began working in public radio in 1997, while earning a graduate degree in history. She realized that public radio work is remarkably like being a perpetual graduate student, so she stayed. Polly has worked for a variety of news and public affairs programs, including "AirTalk" on KPCC Radio, and "These Days" on KPBS Radio. She considers herself to be a citizen of the world, having grown up in Cairo and having lived in Vienna, Germany, England and Kenya before coming to America. She speaks Arabic and some German and can say, "I want a martini" in Swahili.
