My name... Michele Norris
NPR employee since... October 2002
Public radio listener since... I grew up as a prisoner of public radio. I've been listening since I was a kid.
My job at NPR is... Host/Special Correspondent. People think the most important thing I do is talk since I spend hours in front of microphone of one kind or another, when, in fact, the single most important thing I do is listen.

I use social media to... tap into conversations and worlds that might otherwise be out of reach.

I've learned the most about radio from... Susan Stamberg. When I arrived at NPR she told me to be myself. Full Stop. End of paragraph. End of story. Be yourself. That is all.

I wanted to be... an electrical engineer ...when I grew up.

Old-school manners are ...a breath of Fresh Air.

On Sunday morning, you'll find me... in church with my family.

I can't live without... my children's laughter.

If I could share a coffee with anyone, it would be... the person I was 20 years ago. Boy would I have great advice for her.

Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me that... I have to act my age.

Check out Norris' recent conversation about The Race Card Project with Morning Edition Host Steve Inskeep. And for listeners in the Washington, D.C. area, Norris will also be In Conversation with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg – exploring the role of working women in America – at the Sixth and I Historic Synagogue on Thursday, March 14.
