I know you love hearing Diane Rehm’s voice
on the radio as much as I do. Her strained and
raspy, yet gentle and kind, tone is a nice break
from the shouting political junkies and campy
deejays who pervade the radio. Besides just
hearing her voice, however, you have the opportunity
next week to see Diane Rehm in person.
On Friday, June 12, Rehm will visit the
Rose Wagner Theater for a live conversation
with Doug Fabrizio, host of KUER 90.1 FM’s
RadioWest. Rehm’s radio program, The Diane
Rehm Show, has been on the air for more than
25 years. She has interviewed notable newsmakers,
authors and journalists including Bill Clinton,
Julie Andrews, Toni Morris and Archbishop
Desmond Tutu. Her characteristic strained vocal
tone is a result of spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological
condition that affects speech. Fans and
professional journalists alike will not want to
miss this discussion between two professional
interviewers, to be broadcast live on RadioWest.
Radio West: Diane Rehm @ Rose Wagner Center, 138 W. 300 South, 801-355-2787, Friday, June 12, 7 p.m. KUER.org
