Paul Johnston is announcer and manager of Community Broadcasts for WQED-FM in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In talking about his career in radio, Johnston describes it as fulfillment of a "magnificent obsession" that started when he was in the eighth grade.

While he pursued and completed an undergraduate degree in music education at Andrews University, the most meaningful activity for him was being able to work at WAUS-FM, AU's radio station. Following a brief foray into teaching, he landed a position working for KWHO in Salt Lake City and then worked for Brigham Young University's broadcast services, serving as broadcast host for the Utah Symphony Orchestra while there. In 1986, he accepted an invitation to join WQED-FM, a classical music station.
