Anthony Badolato
Anthony Badolato has been working behind the scenes as Audio Director on our podcasts since Hope Is A Verb launched in 2023. Along the way, his love for all things audio has grown alongside a deep appreciation for solutions journalism and everything Fix The News stands for. After just over two years immersed in the work, stepping into the role of host and producer of NewsFix felt like a natural next step. It’s a chance to bring both passions together in one weekly project, sharing stories that leave you feeling just a little more hopeful about the world. Reminding us, it’s not all bad ;)
