Our conversation with Joshua Johnson. On Jan. 2, his show 1A will begin airing on NPR.
After a 37-year run, Diane Rehm is retiring.
She’d served notice to her legions of loyal listeners that she would see out the election and then step away from The Diane Rehm Show.
Much as Garrison Keillor hand-picked his successor Chris Theil for A Prairie Home Companion, Rehm personally selected her own: radio journalist Joshua Johnson.
Johnson sat down with us today to talk about how he plans to follow in Rehm’s shoes and what he plans to do with his new show, 1A.
