About Joseph Tasca
I'm a host and producer for the NPR affiliate in Providence, Rhode Island. I've always been an avid reader.

I also take great pleasure in reading books that examine the complex relationship between human beings and modern technology.Joe Tasca is a host and a reporter for the NPR affiliate in Providence, Rhode Island.
