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.
My last real radio voice that I listened to daily on, y’know, on the radio.
When they fired him, I knew the jig was up for NPR.
Then they just kept saying “enhanced interrogation”, and that was it. I haven’t listened since.
