Read Brian Lehrer's bio

Nuala McGovern joined the Brian Lehrer Show in the Spring of 2000 after two years at the Adrian Flanelly Show. A graduate of University College, Dublin she spent several years teaching and traveling in Italy before finally making the decision to go west. She honed her people skills from an early age tending bar in the family-owned pub in Dublin.

The product of two generations of preachers and schoolteachers, perhaps it's inevitable that Lisa found her dream job in public radio. Prior to coming to WNYC, she worked for several years on the business side of magazine publishing and did a little bookbinding. Lisa grew up in the middle of the country and headed for New York to attend Barnard College where she received a degree in political science. She likes to go back and visit family in Kansas, especially during the State Fair, but she still hasn't figured out why she had to leave the top wheat-producing state in the country to find a decent loaf of bread.

Priya George is the newest member of the Brian Lehrer Show. Born in India, she was raised in Algeria, Tunisia, Portugal, Mexico and Zimbabwe before coming to New York. Outside of the office, Priya watches the Food Network and makes every effort to avoid the kitchen.
