Announcing Ed Goldberg’s Retirement
After over two decades with All Classical Portland, Host Ed Goldberg has retired!
Ed has shared his kindness, good humor, and love of music with All Classical Portland’s listeners, locally and around the world, since 1998. He has hosted Saturday Matinee since 2010, and celebrated many contemporary authors over the years through interviews on the special feature Author Author.
“I started working in 1963, in three industries, four if you count book publishing, in more than 10 different firms or organizations, and I have never had a better job, with finer colleagues, doing more enjoyable work, than in my tenure at All Classical Portland. I will miss everyone, including my delightful and loyal audience. Thank you all.”
