The Costa Report™ is a post-partisan talk show for thinking people – citizens who don’t care whether a solution comes from the left, right or center, so long as it works.

Each week The Costa Report™ goes where the big networks won’t. And delivers what big talk show hosts don’t. Costa invites the world’s top newsmakers and thought-leaders to discuss civilization’s greatest threats for one full hour. No sound bites. No talking points. No editing. From government debt, healthcare and terrorism, to election, energy and education, no topic is off limits. Two full hours devoted to solutions!

BACKGROUND

Rebecca D. Costa is an American sociobiologist, author, and host of the syndicated radio program The Costa Report. She is a leading expert on “fast adaptation” in complex environments, and a recipient of the prestigious Edward O. Wilson Biodiversity Technology Award. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, The Guardian, and other leading publications.

Costa was the founder and CEO of one of the largest technology marketing firms in California, where she developed an extensive track record of introducing new technologies. Her clients included industry innovators such as Hewlett-Packard, Apple Computer, Oracle, Siebel Systems, 3M, General Electric Company and other first-movers.

Retiring at the zenith of her career in Silicon Valley, Costa spent six years researching and writing the international bestseller The Watchman’s Rattle: A Radical New Theory of Collapse. The success of the book led to a weekly news program called The Costa Report, presently syndicated by the Genesis Communications Network and VoiceAmerica. Owing to the growing need to respond more nimbly and rapidly to change, Costa is a popular international speaker. She is currently represented by the American Program Bureau.

A global thinker in the mold of Alvin Toffler, Jared Diamond, and Thomas Friedman, Costa attributes her ability to see the “big picture” to her cross-cultural education and upbringing. Raised in Tokyo, Japan, during the Vietnam conflict, Costa is an alumnus of the University of California at Santa Barbara and currently lives in Astoria, Oregon.
