Mayor Indya Kincannon at WUOT

Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon talks with Morning Edition host Jon Knowles about this fiscal year's budget, public/private affordable housing initiatives, the city's goals for reducing emissions through transport planning, and the outlook for the Knoxville College property.

Jon came to WUOT in 2022 as the local host for NPR’s Morning Edition. He previously served as a producer, reporter, and on-air talent for several stations within the former Citadel Broadcasting group of Knoxville. Jon’s later pursuits were found in the civil service branches as a Critical Care Flight Paramedic with UT LIFESTAR, and later with the U.S. State Department's Air Wing Unit in Baghdad, Iraq.

Outside of radio, Jon is a private pilot who enjoys cheering on the VOLS and hiking/biking the many trails our region has to offer.
