Laura Kennedy
CorrespondentReporter, content producer and former All Things Considered host, Laura Kennedy is a native of the Midwest who occasionally affects an English accent just for the heck of it. Related to two U.S. presidents, Kennedy appalled her family by going into show business.
Astonishingly pale and a tad goth, Kennedy tends to sizzle if left in the sun too long.
In her spare time Kennedy nurtures her worrisome passion for cashmere, plays zither in her imaginary garage band, Dowager Hump, and sits slack-jawed in front of the television watching Turner Classic Movies.
Kennedy retired from GLT in 2018 and later returned as a correspondent.
