This is a good way to find/relive history. As far as I can tell only these three volumes were ever published (1994, 1995 and 1996).
I'll list the chapter headings: arts and letters, television radio and film, science, animals, religion, the story of the year: election, the world, Washington (D.C.), America talking, and Enders. Some of those interviewed (* now deceased) were Wynton Marsalis, *Oscar Peterson an Itzhak Perlman, Julie Andrews, *Richard Harris, *Edward O. Wilson, *Sherwin Nuland, *Roger Tory Peterson, *John Shelby Spong, Newt Gingrich, *Warren Zimmerman, *John Chancellor, Calvin Trillin, *C. Edward Koop and (President) Jimmy Carter. This is why I find it interesting to my interest in history. You will not hear 2022 interviews with those starred.
I only wish more years had been published. Maybe we should write NPR..

The political interviews were interesting mainly because they correlated with what I read in Bill Clinton's memoir last month. As always, the variety of people and topics included in the NPR interviews is satisfying. I would have liked more of some interviews, less of others.

So this is what people did to find out what the missed on NPR before the internet came around, they read transcribed interviews. Now I'd go the NPR.org and play the clip the next day or download it so I could listen to it whenever I wanted.
Not all of the interviews were interesting to me, I enjoyed the science section and final portion of the book which was a collection of humorous interviews.
I can's say I recommend this book, but if want to remember the olden times it is a good way to do it.
