Bob Edwards was the voice of NPR’s Morning Edition for decades. He was an amazing journalist and just a great human being. As an affiliate station’s news director and local ME host, I couldn’t imagine the morning without his voice filling the studio. Meeting him was a favorite memory from that time.
Millennial children of Democrats all had the exact same childhood, didn’t we? lol
I’m Gen-X… according to the 1965-1980 definition anyway, because I was born in 1977, so it stretches further back. But yeah, I think any of us who had politically-aware left-wing parents and were alive in the 1980s probably knew Bob Edwards’ voice.

Rush Limbaugh in mom’s car, NPR in dad’s.
It was a weird dichotomy. Even as a kid, had a hard preference for NPR. I do feel like they’ve lost something in the last 6-8 years or so.
Sounds much more pleasant than listening to Rush Limbaugh in the car. Paul Harvey would be on if we were lucky.
