A well-known voice on WAMC has been silenced. Dr. Herb London died on Saturday. He was 79. Along with his Wednesday commentaries on WAMC’s Midday Magazine that never failed to keep the listener comment line busy, London was an academic, a writer, a political candidate, an athlete who was drafted into the NBA and a singer who had a song on the charts in 1959.
London’s accomplishments were many, and WAMC’s Brian Shields spoke with his friend and colleague – broadcaster, writer and political analyst Monica Crowley – to look back on the life and politics of Dr. London.
