For 27 years, Boston's WBUR was home to "Only A Game" - the hour-long sports program that aired on more than 250 public radio stations each week. And right up until it ended its run in 2020, Karen Given had a hand in nearly every show as a reporter, editor or host.

Storytelling in sound is still Karen's only game as a freelance editor and writing coach. She'll talk about her love of storytelling - and how she won awards for sports reporting when she's not really a sports fan!

It's our second season of stories from the people who make public radio magic! You'll hear from more of the talented reporters, editors, producers and hosts who create the sounds that keep you tuning in every day.

Season 2 of "Roman on the Radio" debuts Friday, December 12.

For decades, Susanne Whatley has been one of Southern California's most popular news voices on the air. She traveled across the radio dial before settling in as the local host of "Morning Edition" on LAist 89.3 in Los Angeles.

After six years of waking up before dawn, Susanne stepped away from the microphone last summer. Now rested and revived, she'll look back at her years in commercial and public radio - and her on-air visit with a black bear!
