“Best of Insight” NPR’s Nina Totenberg | Sacramento Kings Longtime Radio Announcer Gary Gerould

“Best of Insight”: A conversation with NPR’s Nina Totenberg and her book “Dinners with Ruth.” Also, the long-time radio voice for the Sacramento Kings, Gary Gerould, achieves a historic milestone during a remarkable, overdue season.

Dinners with Ruth

Since 1975, we’ve heard Nina Totenberg’s voice on National Public Radio. The longtime legal affairs correspondent is considered a founding mother of NPR at a time when Nina says that she, Cokie Roberts, Susan Stamberg, and Linda Wertheimer were not trying to break a glass ceiling, but just trying to simply get a foot in the door.  In the nearly 50 years since Totenberg has cemented herself as a journalist with an unparalleled perspective of the law and its highest court. Vicki Gonzalez spoke with Nina Totenberg back in January about her book “Dinners with Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships." The memoir includes a nearly five-decade friendship with the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, a friendship that began before Nina’s time at NPR and when Ginsberg was a college professor. Nina shared how the book is about more than one friendship, but beloved relationships that have anchored and shaped her life.  

Gary Gerould

Gary Gerould has been calling Sacramento Kings games since the very first game in Sacramento back in 1985. The “G-Man” himself has seen it all: the good, bad, and yes, those ugly, dark seasons. But through thick and thin he is one of the few broadcasters who have stuck with the same team their entire professional career. Gary or “G-Man” joined Insight back in March with a look back at his career as he crossed a huge milestone– broadcasting his 3,000th game– with a look toward (what fans hope) is the start of a new era of Kings basketball in Sacramento.
