Reply from Hugh Panero...
I guess I'll take up the topic here, since I have a login here but not at Nostalgic Rumbings... I've not written Hugh Panero, but I did email Lee Abrams about Fine Tuning. He sent me a personal reply within just a few minutes and forwarded my email to Ben Smith, PD at Fine Tuning, whi also replied p...

In my opinion, Bob wants his guests to do the bulk of the talking. He gets them to talk in a variety of ways. Direct questions, relevant comments, etc. Making statements based on research is just as much interection as asking a question and is maybe a more natural way of conversational interaction t...

Mason Profitt
Did anyone notice the very appropriate choice of bumper music in the middle of Thursday's interview with Peter Laufer about Iraq solders against the war? They ran the first 15 seconds of Mason Profitt's infamous war-protest song "Two Hangmen". I've had the original LP "Wanted" on "Happy Tiger" label...

I've noticed that Bob is sometimes "selective" with his on-air cringing. Or maybe it's fancy editing by the producers. Today Delphi was mentioned as one of the companies that was, as I believe I heard, using the bankrupcy courts to offshore more of their operations. I wonder if David Sirota noticed ...

And that wasn't as bad as the day they accidentally ran Fresh Air instead of Here and Now... ;) I don't know about that. At least Terry Gross is interesting. I rate Bob Edwards, Terry Gross and Susan Stamberg as my all time favorite interviewers. While Marty Edwards does have a good voice, an hour ...

Scott Simon did a bit about Marty Edwards, the voice of the Master Clock. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4223445 As to what certain public stations air and don't air, you can find quite a few public stations with Internet audio streams from which to choose, though the Windows M...

Yeah, you would think they'd come up with better backup programming than Bob talking about the Kerry-Bush debates and the UPCOMING election... They COULD select a less dated interview! Guess I'll have to reschedule my recording for this evening so I can hear the entire show! My minidisc has SCMS, bu...

Re: This should put it all to rest.
As for the satellite radio version known as The Bob Edwards Show, I haven't yet heard it (I'm not a subscriber). I am told by colleagues and by some NPR listeners that it sounds? well, it sounds fine -- just like Bob, but with less of the heft and backup of NPR News. -- NPR website, April 20, 2005;...

Good Night and Good Luck
Great to hear this interview again, even though some of Bob's shock (well, at least as shocked as Bob ever gets on the air) at hearing Clooney talk about the video of "Light and Wires" was editted out this time around. I've seen the movie; it is definitely worth seeing and I hope it takes a few awar...

Hearst Castle
I've been down the PCH twice, once in the mid 1980's and again in the early 1990's. In the mid 1980's, I remember that there was not much civilization along the roadside from Big Sur to south of San Simeon. San Simeon was just a junction with an road that, to the east, led up to the castle and to th...

They just don't get it, so they? Many are predicting doom and gloom for satellite radio, probably largely as a result of the "Howard" effect. Howard did great at raising industry and brand awareness, but some are now realizing that Howard is trading on a lot of hype. IMHO, this is souring Wall Stree...

Bob Edwards on BBC!
This morning, the last segment of Newshour (approximately 7:52 AM EST) dealt with the UK release of "Good Night and Good Luck". It contained a few words from "Murrow biographer" Bob Edwards.
