Charles Osgood
Read by Charles Osgood
At least twelve million people listen to Charles Osgood every day on CBS radio, and millions more watch him on CBS News Sunday Morning. All of them would agree that no one delivers quite the way he doesthe offbeat stories that make listeners stop and pay attention; the commentaries in which he shares his sense of wonder, dismay, or amusement; the well-spun tales of irony that often burst forth into wordplay or even poetry.
See You on the Radio gathers together some of the best of Osgood’s work, over one hundred essays on everything from potholes, perfumes, felons and freeloaders; to psychopaths and politicians (more alike than you think); to earthquakes, animal heirs, and the advancement of science (“Osgood’s First Law: Just because something is obvious doesn’t necessarily mean that science isn’t going to discover it tomorrow”).
PRAISE FOR THE AUDIO EDITION:
"Charles Osgood’s gentle, bemused style of brief human interest stories and doggerel poetry remains a favorite, not only of the public, but of his colleagues, who never tire of interviewing or spotlighting him on their own news shows. Those who haven’t heard Osgood’s show should pick this up to discover what they’ve been missing."
