Doug Fabrizio (born July 18, 1964) is an American radio host and commentator.
He is host of RadioWest, a popular talk show heard on KUER; RadioWest is syndicated by PRI with a focus on the western United States and especially Utah. Fabrizio began working for the University of Utah FM news/music station KUER in 1987, and became News Director in 1993.
In 2001 he was one of the originators of the program RadioWest on the station.
The format then, as at present, is a 55-minute interview with an invited prominent guest on a pre-announced topic.
Listeners are usually able to call in with questions or comments.
After a few years of growing audience acceptance and participation, the show was picked up for broadcast on Sirius XM Public Radio, where it aired for 5 years.
On his RadioWest show, Fabrizio has hosted such luminaries as Madeleine Albright, Isabel Allende, the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu.Fabrizio has also been a host of Utah Now, a television program on the University of Utah's educational television station KUED. His interview skills landed him a spot as a guest host of the national NPR program "Talk of the Nation." Fabrizio was invited to host NPR's Morning Edition, for which he has commented that he was a 'terrible host' (presumably because his thoughtful and meditative interviewing style didn't fit with the faster pace of that show).
Fabrizio was the keynote speaker for the 2010 Utah Genius event.
