Listen "Remembering War Correspondent Rod Nordland"
Episode Synopsis
After surviving many close calls as a war correspondent — from bullets, mortars and the threat of execution — Rod Nordland was diagnosed with a lethal brain tumor in 2019. He died last week, at the age of 75. In his interview with Terry Gross last year, he spoke about facing his mortality as a war correspondent and as a terminal cancer patient. Nordland covered wars and conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Bosnia, El Salvador and Cambodia. Also, we'll listen back to Terry's 1993 conversation with legendary guitarist Buddy Guy, who has a cameo in Sinners. TV critic David Bianculli reviews the new season of Hulu's The Bear.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
