Friday Is Robert Siegel's Final Broadcast

NPR

For 30 years, Robert Siegel has been the voice of All Things Considered. He steps down from the host chair tomorrow, Friday, January 5. 
Listen beginning at 2 p.m. for his final broadcast, which will include an audio essay about the events he's reported on over the last 40 years. Many altered the course of history, have never been fully resolved or have repeated themselves, including the Cold War, the nuclear arsenal in Europe, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Clinton Impeachment, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Brexit and the election of President Trump.
