Jeremy Loeb
Former HostJeremy Loeb returned to WHQR at the start of 2013 after living in Washington D.C. and Carrboro, NC for a time. He had previously been working for WHQR as the host of All Things Considered and a backup to the station’s Operations Manager, George Scheibner for around 6 years. He moved back to his hometown of Durham to be close to family, where he worked at WUNC Public Radio for a stint of 2 years as a reporter, host, and producer. After that he moved up to DC with his partner for a year, which was a great experience for him. But he always remembered WHQR fondly and never lost his passion for public radio, so he was happy to return when the opportunity arose.
Jeremy first started as an intern at WHQR while he worked on a degree in Communication Studies at UNC Wilmington. He was among the first group of interns of a long-running program worked out between WHQR and UNCW that has brought so many extraordinary and talented young people to the station.
