Jason Hoover

Jason Hoover got into music as a young man to assuage his loneliness. He stuck with it, and his persistence paid off. He recently released his first full-length album, “Bedroom Tracks.” He joins host Frank Stasio in the studio, and he performs live along with drummer Marshall Eure.

Longtime NPR correspondent Frank Stasio was named permanent host of The State of Things in June 2006. A native of Buffalo, Frank has been in radio since the age of 19. He began his public radio career at WOI in Ames, Iowa, where he was a magazine show anchor and the station's News Director.
