The Morning Edition team toasts co-host Steve Inskeep on his 20th anniversary hosting the show.
To celebrate the show aired a tribute where Renee Montagne made a guest appearance to revisit some of Steve's most memorable stories. Listen here.
We've also put together this list of Steve factoids:
At Morning Edition, the staff sometimes jokes that we are on SIT, or Steve Inskeep Time.
Morning Edition had a different theme song than it does now when Steve joined.
Steve wakes up as early as 2:30a sometimes when he is hosting the show.
Steve brings two cups into the studio: one for coffee and one for water; and he believes water is just as important as caffeine when you're tired.
He's a loud typer.
Steve just returned from reporting in China, where he's been before for Morning Edition.
Steve loves "vox" reporting — that is —walking around an event or a city talking to dozens and dozens, sometimes hundreds of people just to tell a more thorough and accurate story.
Sometimes, Steve cries when StoryCorp airs. (TBH, almost all the hosts have at some point. StoryCorp is weeper.)
