Inside Radio - A pioneering voice in public radio is signing off. Susan Stamberg, one of NPR’s original hosts and a fixture in American broadcast journalism since 1971, will retire Sept. 1...
Stamberg, the first woman to anchor a national evening news program, hosted “All Things Considered” for 14 years before taking the helm of “Weekend Edition Sunday” and later serving as a Special Correspondent covering the arts. Along the way, she earned induction into both the National Radio Hall of Fame and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and nearly every major broadcasting award.
“Susan Stamberg is the voice of NPR… She has been our franchise,” remarked Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon. “She is one of the great figures in American broadcast history.”
