Bill Siemering is a radio visionary. Sixty years ago, he was hired to
transform WBFO from a student-run college radio club into a professional
station. Because of the experiments in radio that he led at WBFO throughout
the 1960s, Siemering was invited to serve on the first board of what would
become National Public Radio.  He was also invited to write the original
mission statement of NPR. Siemering went on to help create  NPR’s flagship
program, All Things Considered and also what we know today as Fresh Air.
Fifty years later, Siemering is still passionate about the power of radio,
now doing much of his work in the developing world.
