The Bob Edwards Show/Bob Edwards Weekend Discussion Forum

Bob Edwards: Nowadays it seems everybody has a lobbyist...defense contractors, Vidalia onion growers, satellite radio companies, and so do dictatorial regimes.

(Waving to Andy Danyo...)

According to a press release, The Bob Edwards Show documentary Exploding Heritage has been honored as the Evan Osnos Broadcast by the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

I posted the following article to the Nostalgic Rumblings blog earlier today: The Sacramento Bee ran a column yesterday that was basically a puff piece, promoting an event with Renee Montagne and Ellen McDonnell this evening. Thing is, the article is so...well...<em>wrong</em> that it again begs the...

Hum...at right before midnight Eastern time the radios locked-up on a "Only on Air America" promo commercial (kinda wish they knew enough about public radio to stop advertising AA shows on XMPR, but nevermind that gripe now) and went silent. Other channels, though, are fine, and the "emergency loop"...

No excuses, I've been dealing with some personal issues, compounded by a series of computer f...

Is it me, or am I hearing more "sss" artifacts than usual today? Has XM lowered the codec on XMPR again?

Today's show marks the last worked on by Phil Harrell, one of the original producers of <em>The Bob Edwards Show.</em> He's been with the show since August of 2004, and tells me he was one of the first two producers hired for the show (along with Melissa Gray). He sends his best to everyone here, an...

...who's a little dissapointed with last Friday's American Folklife Center segment? (Before going any farther, yes, I know I'm painfully behind.
