Longtime NPR Correspondent Wade Goodwyn has died of cancer at the age of 63. For more than 25 years, Goodwyn reported on his home state of Texas and the southwest United States.
"For generations of public radio listeners, including me, he was one of NPR's iconic voices. Aside from that instantly recognizable voice, Wade was a uniquely gifted storyteller and a brilliant reporter. From the first words of one of his stories, you always knew you were being taken on a journey by a master of our craft. You were in for a true treat, whatever the subject matter," said NPR CEO John Lansing.
Drummond says that skill for observation, combined with his big, deep, rich voice made it a pleasure to listen to Wade on the radio, even if he was delivering bad news.Radio storytelling is what pulled Wade Goodwyn into journalism. He'd been a history major at the University of Texas. A natural field of study for the son of noted historian, who had been active in the civil rights movement, and wrote books on grassroots populism in America.
