Christopher Lydon has been a distinctive voice in many media: covering politics with the Boston Globe and The New York Times in the Sixties and Seventies; hosting The Ten O'Clock News on WGBH-TV in the Eighties; inaugurating the smart talk show The Connection with WBUR (Boston) and NPR in the Nineties; and founding (in 2005) the hybrid radio and Internet conversation known as "Open Source," which he produces now from the Watson Institute at Brown University.
