NPR’s Peter Breslow has traveled the globe as as radio reporter and producer, including venturing to the mountains of northern Iraq. He visits April 20.

Peter Breslow, Peabody Award-winning reporter and longtime National Public Radio producer for Weekend Edition and All Things Considered, visits the school this month to talk to students and to lecture.

Breslow talks to adjunct lecturer Sarah Neal-Estes’ classes April 20 and will talk to the public at 4 p .m. in the Frangipani Room of the Indiana Memorial Union. His topic is “Covering the World for NPR.”

Breslow won a Peabody Award for his series of reports, “Cowboys on Everest,” about the Centennial Expedition as they scaled Mount Everest’s North Ridge. The trip back required trekking across Tibet, and enduring an earthquake, landslides and a bridge collapse.

Breslow also won three Overseas Press Club awards for coverage of Kosovo and Israel and for  “Homecoming: Return to Vietnam,” a two-part series he produced with journalist and All Things Considered commentator Duc Nguyen.
