The Best of Public Radio: 2008

This Saturday and Sunday beginning at 10am, The Best of Public Radio: 2008 will bring you some of the most memorable stories from the past year, a year like few others.

The election, a troubled economy and two wars dominated the news, and we’ll bring you some of public radio’s outstanding coverage of these events.

But we won’t revisit Barack vs. Hillary. No one needs that now. Instead we’ll showcase the election coverage you heard only on public radio, the stories that remind you that as serious as the election was, it could also be funny.
 
Peter Sagal of NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! and Fred Child of American Public Media’s Performance Today will be your hosts for this year-end special. Some of the highlights include:

•    Nina Totenberg getting a grammar lesson from a Supreme Court Justice
•    NPR science correspondent Robert Krulwich discovering why scientists think mastodons used to live in Manhattan.    
•    Maya Angelou, Steve Martin, the Car Guys, Ira Glass, Garrison Keillor and much more!
