Bob Edwards Weekend on WAMC HD2

Bob Edwards Weekend is a two-hour interview showcase, in which celebrated host Bob Edwards highlights the life and work of interesting people, from newsmakers, historians, and authors to artists, actors, and regular folks too. Each program features an artful mix of natural sound, music, readings, film clips and more. Typically, Edwards speaks with 3-5 guests for 15 to 20 minutes each. Occasionally, a guest's interview will comprise 30:00 to an entire hour. And Edwards regularly goes outside the studio; to Eastern Kentucky to gather tape for an hour long documentary about Mountain Top Removal coal mining; to Santa Fe to talk to Stewart Udall, the Interior secretary during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations; and to the Birchmere Music Hall in Virginia to chat backstage with Australian band The Waifs before their concert.
