The Diane Rehm Show
Diane Rehm is a longtime public media journalist based in Washington, D.C., best known for her 37 years in the host’s chair of The Diane Rehm Show, produced at WAMU and distributed by NPR.
In 2016, Rehm transitioned to podcasting, with the launch of “On My Mind,” where she brought her fearlessness and curiosity to conversations with authors, newsmakers and those shaping our culture through their art and ideas.
In May 2020, while at home during the Covid pandemic, Rehm launched The Diane Rehm Book Club, where she hosted panel discussions, one-on-one author interviews, and sometimes both.
Rehm’s on-air career earned her a George Foster Peabody Award in 2010, as well as a National Humanities Medal, which President Barack Obama presented to her in 2014.
On this YouTube channel you will find videos from The Diane Rehm Show dating back to 2010, as well as more recent videos from The Diane Rehm Book Club. Rehm's last day at WAMU was May 2, 2025.
