Bob Edwards (placeholder)

I’ve listened to Bob Edwards on the radio for twenty-something years, first on NPR and then lately on MX Radio, and he always asks the next question I wish someone would ask. I figure our minds must work a bit the same way.

The big reason I’d like to meet him is to thank him, though. During my year in Jerusalem, when I was homesick and stressed (new school, classes in Hebrew, intifada going on, Iraqi war starting, new gasmask skills, etc.) I could “tune in” to Morning Edition via my computer and hear Bob’s familiar voice. I hung onto that little bit of home as if it were a life raft and I were drowning. I’d just like to thank the man for helping me get going on some really tough mornings.
