NPR ‘founding mother’ Susan Stamberg will retire
Stamberg joined NPR in 1971 and began co-hosting "All Things Considered" the next year.
Congrats and also she is one of a few people to have been at NPR at the beginning of the organization's history.
Stamberg joined NPR in 1971 and began co-hosting All Things Considered the next year. Along with Nina Totenberg, Linda Wertheimer and Cokie Roberts, she’s considered one of NPR’s “founding mothers.”
Stamberg “has decided it is time to hang up the microphone and retire,” Edith Chapin, NPR’s editor in chief and acting CCO, told staff in a note.
Her last day will be Sept. 1, Chapin said.
