Mat Kaplan

Mat Kaplan was just 17 when he got his first job in broadcasting, yet it wasn't until the 2002 premiere of The Planetary Society's popular weekly broadcast and podcast series Planetary Radio that he combined his twin loves of space and radio. A Planetary Society staff member for more than 15 years, Mat also plans and manages technical support for Planetfest celebrations and other major events and webcasts.

Outside of The Planetary Society, he hosts a series of live events for Southern California Public Radio called NEXT: People|Science|Tomorrow, and frequently serves as moderator or speaker at space and science gatherings. His extensive background in journalism has ranged from public radio reporter covering the political conventions to movie reviewer for an international magazine. Some may remember him as a correspondent for a pioneering national TV series about personal computers. Mat also enjoyed a 30-year career in higher education that included major television awards and recognition for service to the community.
