Sky Lebron

I’m a host for WUSF, primarily for our daily, five-minute podcast The Bay Blend. It’s a fun time, giving you the news, culture and events going on the in the Tampa Bay area while telling a couple jokes on the way (the jokes land like 50% of the time). I’m also the back-up host for Morning Edition and All Things Considered. I’m pretty much the Kyle Trask of WUSF, except I’ve actually been used in the last few years.

After graduating from the University of Florida, I got my public radio start in Jacksonville working as a reporter for WJCT News. I started there at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and many of the topics I covered had to do with its influences on nearly every aspect of life.

Following my time in Jacksonville, I returned to UF and worked as the Morning Edition newscaster and a multimedia producer for their local NPR affiliate, WUFT-FM. I launched a few student-run podcasts, worked on long-form reporting, and even taught a couple of classes, while also being on-air every weekday morning.

I grew up in Hollywood in Broward County, but have now lived across different cities in the state for about 10 years now. Florida just can’t get rid of me. When I’m not reporting or hosting, you can catch me broadcasting college athletics for a few schools across the state. In my down time, you might find me on a random basketball court airballing shots (I swear I made one as soon as you stopped looking), hanging with my friends, or my cat Faye. She just so happens to be the coolest cat the in the world.
