The host of WBUR's program, Tom Ashbrook, was brought to radio by the attacks of September 11, 2001, and he has distinguished himself by bringing introspective and thought-provoking conversations to the events of the day from around the world. The program is broadcast from Boston, and the show can be heard on this website as well. Visitors to the site can explore the expansive archive here, which includes stories on soul singer Irma Thomas, the age of Prohibition and its effects on New York, and the future of American exports. The site also has the "Radio Diaries" section, which features Colin Powell offering commencement remarks at Marymount University and an in-depth profile of David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker.
