NPR's Robert Siegel To Host His Final Broadcast Of All Things Considered On January 5

It is a sad week in Radioland this week as one of our brightest lights retires from his post. 

Robert Siegel joined NPR in 1976 and he’s been there ever since. He’ll leave the network at the end of next week. Siegel became host of All Things Considered in 1987. But before that he played an important role in the network’s growth. He opened NPR’s first overseas bureau, in London, in 1979 and stayed there for four years.

Robert Siegel’s final day as host of All Things Considered will be January 5th and it is a great pleasure to welcome his to the RT this morning.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
