NoahAdams, former long-time co-host of NPR's All Things Considered, brings more than three decades of radio experience to his current job as a reporter for NPR's National Desk, accepting story assignments that take him across the country.
Adams' career in radio began in 1962 at WIRO (Ironton, Ohio) across the river from his native Ashland, Kentucky.
From 1963 to 1965, Adams was on the air from WCMI (Ashland, Ky.), WSAZ (Huntington, W. Va.), and WCYB (Bristol, Va.).
Adams doesn't merely explore the modern New River in the pages of his book; he recalls the region's history from its frontier origins to its industrial past.
Part of his goal, Adams said, was to acquaint readers with a part of the country they may know little about and to encourage them to visit.
Adams said he enjoys writing as a break from his radio duties but is not currently working on another book.
