Longtime Greater Boston host Jim Braude ended his nearly eight-year run on the program Thursday night with a show full of memories and a heartfelt goodbye to viewers.
"I have gotten to sit across from some of the most interesting provocative people — virtually every night — for almost a decade," Braude said.
Braude has hosted Greater Boston since 2015. He began his career as a lawyer in the South Bronx and served as a Cambridge City Councilor before breaking into media at NECN and WTKK-FM radio, then at GBH.
"Reporting and analyzing the news is a team sport. I have worked with and for so many good, competent, committed people at a place, GBH, that sets the standard in public media," Braude said.
Braude's longtime radio co-host Margery Eagan joined him for his last show, highlighting some of his best moments — including his many interviews with wrongfully convicted men, relentless questions to politicians trying to get away with vague responses and his dedication to thorough research of any and all news topics.
Braude will continue to host Boston Public Radio with Eagan.
Addressing viewers, Braude closed the show saying, "I have no doubt how lucky I've been to have people like you set aside a part of an occasional evening to spend with me. I've tried to ask questions that I thought you would want answered. I hope I got it right more often than not."
