Rick Ganley
Host, Morning EditionFor many radio listeners throughout New Hampshire, Rick Ganley is the first voice they hear each weekday morning, bringing them up to speed on news developments overnight and starting their day off with the latest information.
As host of New Hampshire Public Radio’s Morning Edition, Ganley brings a mix of the most topical local, national and international news; in-depth conversations; ideas and commentary to listeners. His reporting for NHPR spans topics including the opioid epidemic and interviews with national and local candidates for public office.
Before coming to NHPR in January 2009, Rick spent 20 years in commercial music radio at stations in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire. He’s also penned dozens of pieces on music, pop culture, humor and backyard building projects for The Hippo and New Hampshire Magazine.
Because he begins his day at 3 a.m., he is a firm believer in daily naps.
