**Doug Fabrizio** (born July 18, 1964) is an American radio host[1] and commentator. He is the host of *[RadioWest](/source/RadioWest_(KUER)),* a popular talk show heard on [KUER](/source/KUER-FM); *RadioWest* is syndicated by [PRI](/source/Public_Radio_International), with a focus on the western United States and especially Utah.

Fabrizio began working for the [University of Utah](/source/University_of_Utah) FM news/music station [KUER](/source/KUER-FM) 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](/source/Sirius_XM_Public_Radio), where it aired for 5 years.[2] On *RadioWest*, Fabrizio has hosted figures including [Madeleine Albright](/source/Madeleine_Albright),[3] [Isabel Allende](/source/Isabel_Allende), the [Dalai Lama](/source/Dalai_Lama),[4] and [Desmond Tutu](/source/Desmond_Tutu).[5]

Fabrizio has also been a host of Utah Now, a television program on the University of Utah's educational television station [KUED](/source/KUED).

His interview skills landed him a spot as a guest host of the national [NPR](/source/NPR) program *[Talk of the Nation](/source/Talk_of_the_Nation)*.[2][6] Fabrizio was invited to host [NPR](/source/NPR)'s *[Morning Edition](/source/Morning_Edition)*, for which he has commented that he was a "terrible host."[7] Fabrizio was the keynote speaker for the 2010 Utah Genius event.[8][9]
