Soterios Johnson

Soterios Johnson

Soterios Johnson is the local host of NPR's Morning Edition on New York City's public radio station, WNYC. A New Jersey native, Johnson worked at WKCR while earning his undergraduate degree from Columbia University. He later received a master's degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. His unusual first name comes from his Greek heritage.

Influence on music

His name is the inspiration for the moniker of New York City band Satirius Johnson.

Jonathan Coulton, a folk-rock artist also based in New York, wrote a song called "Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance" that presents a fictionalized version of Johnson as a club-goer.
