Bob Edwards at the Carnegie Center

The Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, Indiana was pleased to host award-winning radio personality Bob Edwards on September 24, 2011 as he kicked off his national book tour. A Louisville, Kentucky native, Edwards is well-known for his five decades in broadcasting, including twenty-four years as host of the popular "Morning Edition" which broadcast on National Public Radio and drew more than 13 million listeners weekly. A lesser-known fact about Edwards is that he got his start in radio in 1968 in New Albany at WHEL, which was located on the second floor of a building at Pearl and Main Streets. Edwards currently hosts "The Bob Edwards Show" on Sirius XM Radio and "Bob Edwards Weekend," distributed by PRI, Public Radio International.
