Geoff Edgers

Edgers currently hosts the Edge of Fame podcast, a collaboration between The Washington Post and WBUR-FM, Boston's NPR National.

In 2013, he hosted a Travel Channel reality TV series called Edge of America, and in June 2013 he was awarded a New England Emmy for work on a video for The Boston Globe.

Geoff Edgers teamed up with director Robert Patton-Spruill in early 2008 to begin work on a film about his love of British Invasion band the Kinks, headed by the two feuding brothers Ray and Dave Davies.

The five competitors, at the time all in the close vicinity of the explosion and directly affected by the trauma, share an ambition to run the race once more in order to achieve closure.

Since starting at the Post, Edgers had written in-depth profiles of Eddie Murphy, David Letterman, Norm Macdonald, Darrell Hammond, Tom Hanks, and Ava DuVernay, as well as lengthy pieces on the history of Run-DMC’s "Walk This Way" and a story documenting the mysterious life of a man who stole a Stradivarius violin and virtually disappeared with the instrument.

A press release from the Post stated that "[Edgers] will have a broad reach to write about arts, entertainment and cultural issues across the nation" and noted that he will remain based in Boston while still reporting to a senior editor in Washington and "appearing in the newsroom frequently.

After premiering on December 16 at 10:00 PM Eastern, The New York Times' Neil Genzlinger described Edgers' "genuine enthusiasm" for the memorabilia he investigates, stating that in the same "gung-ho" spirit of his work with Edge of America, "he applies that ... passion to visiting museums and private collectors in search of artifacts with stories behind them.

"[19] In January 2018, Edgers debuted a new podcast series, Edge of Fame, drawing on his experience as a journalist, documentary film maker, writer, and National Arts Reporter for the Post.

In the series, Edgers explores the lives of various celebrities and performers on the dark and humorous sides of show business.
