A radio host's unique friendship with a fellow broadcast legend
For a dozen years the pioneering radio sports broadcaster Red Barber called in every Friday to NPR's Morning Edition show, for an unscripted 4 minute talk with host Bob Edwards.
After Barber's death in 1992 Edwards wrote a memoir of those memorable conversations, a book he called Fridays With Red.
In this 1993 interview Edwards recaptures the magic of their radio friendship.
