Luis Hernandez
Morning Edition Host Ocean State MediaLuis helms the morning lineup. He is a 20-year public radio veteran, having joined The Public's Radio in 2022. That journey has taken him from the land of Gators at the University of Florida to WGCU in Fort Myers to KNPR in Las Vegas and then to WLRN in Miami.
Luis sees himself as a journalist and an entertainer, which is what drives him every morning—bringing more local news to the listeners and doing it in an interesting and sometimes fun way.
In his spare time, Luis is working on a couple of novels, a couple of podcasts and is getting back into painting. lhernandez@oceanstatemedia.org
