3. Ex-host of Morning Edition on NPR

he did the show for about 24.7 years - they tried to move him upstairs, he moved out. They wouldn't let him stick around for his 25th anniversary, which was right around election time.

6. is he a fair person?

9. I listened to Bob Edwards for years as I drove to work.

Fair is not a word one can associate with Edwards. His interviewing and reporting style are so dead on and pointedly factual that even those who don't like him would have to say he is one of the most credible voices in radio.

10. Great, I will have to start listening to him, thanks

[VPStoltz]

12. Unfortunately, he no longer is with NPR

They retired him in an attempt to create a more youthful image. Their loss - our loss.

11. Answer: Bob Edwards is a journalist.

Bob Edwards' mellifluous voice woke me up every weekday for years and years. NPR Morning Edition was a classy show. It's not been the same since he left. I miss Bob's weekly guest, Red Barber, too. Baseball lost a good one when Red died.
