A truly interesting read in the Washington Post about the evolution of Bob Edwards. From his NPR days to now on XM Satellite Radio, Marc Fisher of the Washington Post writes of the development of Bob Edwards' style and the things that have been learned during the transition to satellite radio. Definitely worth taking a look at.
