Were you a Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys fan? Listen each Wednesday, from Feb. 13 through March 6 to hear HPPR’s Stephen Johnson explore these iconic mysteries with which many of us grew up.
Radio Readers BookBytes are heard at 7:45 a.m. during Morning Edition and again at 6:44 p.m. during All Things Considered.
As the host of Open Range, Steve Johnson brings a lifetime of hearing and performing a wide variety of music to this unique program. Growing up in a home featuring everything from opera to Bill Evans and the Beatles, he studied piano in college where he became passionate about free-form radio—the space where you can hear everything from punk rock to classic country or jazz in the course of a few hours.
Open Range is your invitation to an hour of radio unleashed, presented with heart and humor. All you need for this adventure is an open mind and open ears. Steve’s also an avid reader and delves into books with the same passion he applies to music.
