Paul Glickman is an L.A. native; he grew up in Gardena and Sherman Oaks. He worked for many years as a radio and print reporter in California, Central America, and Washington, D.C.

In the mid-1980s he was based in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, an excellent vantage point for covering two neighboring wars: the conflict in El Salvador, where the U.S.-backed government fought Cuban-backed guerrillas, and the war in Nicaragua, where the Cuban-backed government fought U.S.-backed guerrillas.

In the 1990s Paul was a foreign editor at National Public Radio, overseeing the network's coverage of such historic events as the Rwandan genocide and South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy. He returned to L.A. in 2000, with his wife Janetta and their sons Jonah and Caleb, to join KPCC.
