This book profiles a number of NPR newscasters including some of my favorites like Scott Simon and Nina Totenberg. Phillips explores how veteran NPR personalities ended up in radio and the reader gets a sense of what NPR was like in its early days. Bob Edwards claims to have had a brief fling with Nina Totenberg and recalls how difficult it was to keep up with who was dating who. It&#8217;s interesting to see how NPR journalists live with their gruelling schedules and still manage to have families. It&#8217;s also surprising how many of them don&#8217;t have college degrees. If you listen to public radio you will want to read this, even if you only read about your favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know when NPR started to takeover, but it seems to be always on at my house.
