New host for Connecticut Public’s ‘Where We Live’

Connecticut Public has named Catherine Shen as the new host of its series “Where We Live.”

Shen will take over as host on Feb. 6, replacing Lucy Nalpathanchil, who became Connecticut Public’s new vice president of community engagement. Shen has been with Connecticut Public since 2021 as its education reporter and was previously a reporter with the New Britain Herald.

“As a reporter you have a limited amount of time to tell the story, so I’m looking forward to diving into more in-depth conversations,” said Shen. “I’m interested in highlighting different cultures and Where We Live is a great avenue to let people tell their own stories. It’s my privilege to be able to create opportunities for the diverse voices across our state. ”
