Tickets on Sale For Feb. 6 Diane Rehm Visit

SALISBURY, MD---The host of one of the most popular shows on National Public Radio (NPR) comes to Salisbury University on Saturday, February 6, as Public Radio Delmarva presents “An Evening with Diane Rehm” as part of its largest fundraising event to date.

Rehm speaks at 6:30 p.m. in Holloway Hall Auditorium. A 5:30 p.m. private meet-and-greet session precedes her talk in the Social Room of Holloway Hall.

For 30 years, The Diane Rehm Show, heard 10 a.m. weekdays on Public Radio Delmarva’s WSDL 90.7, has been a staple of NPR. Rehm provides listeners thoughtful and lively conversations on an array of topics with many of the world’s most distinguished people. During each hour, she invites listeners to join the conversation by opening the phones to their questions and comments on the topic at hand.

In 2007 and 2008, the show placed among the top 10 most powerful public radio programs, based on its ability to draw listeners to public radio stations. It is the only live call-in talk show on the list. The National Journal calls Rehm “the class act of the talk radio world.”

Sponsored by the Peter and Judy Jackson Music Performance Fund, admission is $35 per person, $25 per person with SU ID for her talk, $75 per person for the meet-and-greet session, which includes reserved seating at the talk. Proceeds benefit Public Radio Delmarva. Tickets are on sale at the Public Radio Delmarva office in Caruthers Hall.
