Weekend Edition Saturday

The news doesn’t rest on the weekends and neither do we. Turn to Weekend Edition Saturday – it’s worth the effort. This show’s refreshing combination of news, commentary, analysis and features provides you with a unique perspective on events and starts your weekend days off with a sizzle. Peabody Award-winning host Scott Simon, no stranger to the front lines in Bosnia and El Salvador, proves just as comfortable in the homes and cars of listeners to the program. He brings singular insight and good humor to his role as host of Weekend Edition Saturday. Over its 15-year history, Weekend Edition Saturday has developed a stable of thoroughbred commentators, including entertainment critic Elvis Mitchell, sports columnist Ron Rapoport, gardening guru Ketzel Levine and NPR senior news analyst Daniel Schorr as a weekly show regular.
