1 day agoNPR 'founding mother' Susan Stamberg has died
Few figures have informed the sensibility of NPR more than Stamberg. Colleagues considered her a mentor, a yenta, a founding mother always tough, and always true to herself. Stamberg is survived by her son, the actor Josh Stamberg, and her granddaughters Vivian and Lena. NPR host Scott Simon contended she was the first real human being to host a regular evening newscast. Stamberg even knit while sitting in front of the microphone at All Things Considered.
