    Brazos presents an Author Appearance:  Bob Edwards - A VOICE IN THE BOX.

    In A VOICE IN THE BOX: My Life in Radio, Edwards recounts his career as one of the most important figures in modern broadcasting. He describes his road to success on the radio waves, from his early days knocking on station doors during college and working for American Forces Korea Network to his work at NPR and induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2004.

    Edwards tells the story of his exit from NPR and the launch of his new radio ventures on the XM Satellite Radio network. Throughout the book, his sharp observations about the people he interviewed and covered and the colleagues with whom he worked offer a window on forty years of American news and on the evolution of public journalism.

    A VOICE IN THE BOX is an insider’s account of the world of American media and a fascinating, personal narrative from one of the most iconic personalities in radio history.

    Bob Edwards is the author of EDWARD R. MURROW AND THE BIRTH OF BROADCAST JOURNALISM and FRIDAYS WITH RED: A Radio Friendship. Edwards has been awarded the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award for radio journalism, a George Foster Peabody Award for excellence in broadcasting, and the Edward R. Murrow Award for outstanding contributions to public radio. He lives in Arlington, Virginia.
