Norman Corwin, whose 70-year-career as a writer made him a legend in the world of radio, died on Tuesday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. He was 101. Corwin wrote, directed, and produced for radio, television, film, and the stage. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his script "Lust for Life," a 1956 biopic about Vincent Van Gogh. During the "Golden Age of Radio" in the 1940s, Corwin was a prolific producer, working in every genre. Two of his radio works, "We Hold These Truths," a 1941 documentary about the Bill of Rights that aired after Pearl Harbor, and "On a Note of Triumph," a 1945 piece that aired on VE Day in 1945, are considered masterpieces of the medium. Corwin remained a writer-in-residence at the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is ending he radio talk show, "The Dr. Laura Program" after 30 years on the air.

On "Larry King Live" last night, Dr. Laura defended her decision, saying, "I want to be able to say what's in my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without someone getting angry, without some special interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent."

While political pundits are assessing what they think President Obama needs to do in his first State of the Union Address, we're taking a more grass-roots approach.  Three talk show hosts share what their listeners want from the President's speech tonight, and true to form for talk radio, they're not afraid to speak their minds.

There are unusual things going on in every city – strange people, curious buildings and local lore.

She’s the co-host of “Under the Sun,” a new public radio series, and she takes story suggestions from listeners. Voting ends today on whether the next story will be about a naked carpet guy, a haunted hotel or rising ocean levels.
