Oh No — First Melanie and now Lee! This is terrible news.
Yes, I totally agree about his interviews. He gets tremendous authors and really does his homework for the interviews.
What’s his monthly feature...something like the “Word Man” — the guy who knows all about the English language. I love listening to that show (last Friday of the month, I think).
The Word Man is/was Richard Lederer, father of poker pros Howard Lederer and Annie Duke. Richard is admittedly a liberal guy, yet he and Lee got along famously in their monthly chats.
One thing (among many) that I always respected about Lee Rodgers was his command of, and appreciation for, the language.
Sorry to see him go! Actually, I am shocked. I wake up every morning and the first thing I do is tune him in-then brush my teeth!
I will miss him swearing at the lousy phone line when someone he is interviewing is talking on a cell phone!!!
