Favourite program or on air person/announcer:
Milt Rosenberg, "Extension 720." It's a talk show hosted by a University of Chicago professor that hosts authors or experts on current events. It's like one of those Book Chat shows you might see on CSPAN. Very intellectual. I love the topics and have been listening for decades!
