one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE interviewers is retiring from her longtime NPR show today...

i'm bummed. a TRULY great interviewer, which in my opinion is RARER and rarer these days....always focused on the specific issue at hand (never distracted by bright shiny objects that might be thrown out there by some interviewees in an attempt to evade her probing querys). Always driving and driving to get to the CORE of the subject (no soundbite news here). Curious, straightforward, and persistent...and all the while civil & fair. And, just as importantly, a great LISTENER. Another treasure of American Broadcasting. I will genuinely miss listening to her on a daily basis (though i think i heard that she may start doing some Podcasting, fingers crossed)
