John Moe

John Moe is an American writer and reporter. He is the host of American Public Media radio program Weekend America where he replaced show founder Bill Radke and Radke's co-host Desiree Cooper. Moe developed and writes the weekly segment "A Little Bit of Weather Everywhere", presenting unique events happening around the country, and the weather for the day at these events. Prior to joining Weekend America full time as a senior writer in 2007, Moe worked for NPR affiliate station KUOW-FM in Seattle, where he hosted and produced "The Works", a weekly program dedicated to business and technology.

He is the author of "Conservatize Me: How I Tried to Become a Righty with the Help of Richard Nixon, Sean Hannity, Toby Keith, and Beef Jerky", published in October 2006. The book chronicles Moe's attempt to become a conservative. The book contains several encounters with political experts, historians, and enthusiasts of all affiliations. Actor and historian Micheal Davenport is quoted referring to Richard Nixon as a "liberal."

He has also appeared in the McSweeney's anthologies "Created in Darkness by Troubled Americans", "The McSweeney's Joke Book of Book Jokes", and "Mountain Man Dance Moves".

He is also the author of "Pop Song Correspondences," a feature on the McSweeney's web site.

He graduated from Whitman College and lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.

In the 90s, he fronted the band Free Range Chickens who, after a 5 year hiatus, re-emerged as Chicken Starship.
