Minnesota Public Radio listeners didn’t get to hear long-time National Public Radio newscaster Carl Kasell’s farewell this morning. Like many stations, MPR “covers” the last two minutes of the full NPR newscast in order to provide a local newscast.
Here’s his goodbye:
He’ll continue his role, however, on Wait! Wait! Don’t Tell Me!.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
