[8], 246, [2] pages. Illustrations. Small tear in rear DJ. Inscribed by the author. Diane Rehm (born Diane Aed; September 21, 1936) is a retired American public radio talk show host. Her program, The Diane Rehm Show, was distributed nationally and internationally by National Public Radio. The show was produced at WAMU, which is licensed to American University in Washington, D.C. Rehm had announced her plans to retire from hosting the show after the 2016 elections. The final program was recorded and distributed on December 23, 2016. Rehm announced she was going to host a weekly podcast, which she began doing in January 2017. The Washington Post describes Rehm as a leading voice in the right to die debate. The author was a nationally acclaimed public radio host who battled depression and spasmodic dysphonia. Derived from a Kirkus review: Rehm, host of a National Public Radio show, offers an intimate look into her childhood, marriage, career, and battle with a rare neurological disorder that has affected her speech and nearly destroyed her career. Motherhood besieged her with loneliness and overwhelming responsibility. It was only when she volunteered at a local radio station that she blossomed and filled the void in her life. Eventually landing a job as a talk-show host, Rehm both found her voice and got to interview figures like Hillary Rodham Clinton and Carl Sagan. At the height of her career, she had to go from doctor to doctor desperately seeking to identify the mysterious affliction ruining her voice. When it was finally diagnosed and treated, heroic rehabilitation work was required. Rehm became a national spokesperson for spasmodic dysphonia, stating that her disability has given added meaning to her life. An articulate and inspirational travelogue of one woman's remarkable journey.
