Bob Edwards: 30 Years on NPR is the NPR-hosted farewell site.
Twenty minutes ago my eyes snapped open just as Bob Edwards began his last on-air interview as host of Morning Edition with Charles Osgood, the same man he began the show with, a quarter century ago. It will be odd in the morning without him, the last day-to-day vestige of my childhood gone from my life.
I’m starting to notice that any time I get in a taxi driven by an Arab of African driver (which is any time I get in a taxi) they are listening to NPR. I find myself wondering if they are fans of the station or this is what they assume their clientele prefer to listen to.
