Dick Estell
Producer/Host |
Dick Estell is producer and host of The Radio Reader, heard on 100 public radio stations in 40 states, with 1.5 million listeners. In mid-Michigan, AM 870 WKAR airs The Radio Reader weekdays at 8:30 a.m.
Estell selects only recently released books for The Radio Reader, many of them best sellers. The books he has read during the past 40 years literally encompass the best and most interesting general works that the publishing world has offered here in the United States. Estell is always as surprised as his listeners to find out a book’s conclusion, since he does not read the books prior to recording them for broadcast.
Dick Estell began broadcasting The Radio Reader in 1964 on WKAR-AM/FM at Michigan State University. He served as general manager of WKAR Radio at MSU from 1964 until his retirement in 1978. He continues to produce The Radio Reader from his home studio in Haslett, Michigan.
