I do not remember how long I have been listening to Weekend Edition Sunday on NPR, but I don't remember doing so before Liane Hansen was the host. I remember listening to the Puzzle Master Presents with Will Shortz and Liane back in the day when entrants had to mail in postcards with their answers. When the radio plays the Sunday theme music on piano, I lie in bed and know that it is (usually) a day of rest and that the reading of the Sunday paper awaits.

Now
Liane is retiring, and today was her last broadcast. Instead of saying "good-bye" she told her audience, "thank you." Thank YOU, Liane for 20 years of Sunday mornings. Time to say Welcome to Audie Cornish (starting this fall). Onward!
(After listening to all the voices on NPR, I always find it interesting to match the photos and spellings with the sounds I've become familiar with.)

I LOVE NPR! What a nice post!!
I couldn't find a way to email you so I'll leave a message here in comments. I'm a volunteer with Learning Ally; we used to be called Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic. We've been in Upland for 50 years and have tons of Claremont volunteers. We record audio textbooks onto CD/MP3 so that students with learning disabilities can listen to their curriculums and still learn.
We are having a huge fundraiser next weekend and are trying to get the word out. Would you be willing to post the following on your blog?
Thanks so much! Hope to see you there!
