Re-live Public Radio's Best of 2008
An historical presidential election and the biggest economic crisis of our time or all time, depending on who you ask, dominated the year's news coverage, but they aren't the only important stories you heard on
Tri-State Radio Station.
NPR's extraordinary coverage of the earthquake in China and the floods that affected seven Midwestern states are also among the year's most significant stories. Revisit these and other examples of The Best of Public Radio: 2008 with Peter Sagal, host of Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me! and Fred Child, host of Performance Today. Our year in review also includes contributions from Ira Glass, host of This American Life, Click and Clack from Car Talk and many more of your favorite public radio hosts and correspondents. Hear it on Saturday, December 27th from 9 am to noon and again from noon to 3 pm.
The Best of Public Radio: 2008 brings you highlights from some of public radio's extraordinary coverage of the year's biggest news stories and most significant and memorable events. That doesn't mean a longing look back at Hilary vs. Barack. You expect more from public radio, and Peter and Fred will deliver. They will look at the election, the economy and other stories in ways that will remind us of how public radio stands apart from what you hear everywhere else. We'll spend time with some of the extraordinary people we met this year and with some of public radio's lighter moments from Car Talk, Wait Wait.... Don't Tell Me! and A Prairie Home Companion among others.
