December 31st Show
My goodness. This is my last "coming up" show blog of 2007. Well, we can't finish the year without talking ABOUT the year. So in our first hour, we'll talk about the stories of the year... stories you may have missed, stories you couldn't miss if you tried, and even those stories that made headlines in other countries. We'll talk with guests from the Pew Research Center, National Geographic, and Foreign Policy magazine about the ten top stories of 2007. What's your pick? Following that, Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein will peer into his crystal ball, and run down his list of predictions for 2008... from the housing market to entertainment to diplomacy and the presidential election. He opens his third eye in his column that appears in today's L.A. Times. The title? "And you don't want to know what's going to happen to Britney". 'Nuff said.
In our second hour, we will be joined by Daniel Schorr. He was one of the reporters of Edward R. Murrow's legendary CBS team and with more than six decades in journalism, he is still active and going strong, currently as NPR's senior news analyst. Schorr will talk about his illustrious career as well as his new book, Come to Think of It: Notes on the Turn of the Millennium. And this week, at the end of our second hour, we will be taking a look at the next big thing in 2008. Today, we kick off the series with a look at music. Bob Boilen, host of NPR's Music Show All Songs Considered, will talk about which artists we should keep an eye out for in the coming year, and highlight some of the new trends happening in the music industry
Happy Happy New Year Everyone!! May it be a great one!
