Scott Simon, host of “Weekend Edition Saturday” and occasional host of NPR's morning news podcast “Up First,” joined us earlier in the week for a special event to discuss his work as a journalist and host. Simon has reported from all 50 states, five continents, and ten wars—and is the author of 10 books. He’s a loyal (fanatical) Chicago Cubs fan and last joined Maine Calling to share how he came to terms with hearing loss. This program was recorded on Sept 17 before a live audience.

Panelist:
Scott Simon, host, “Weekend Edition Saturday,” National Public Radio

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
