Timeline

1926

Dick Estell (April 11, 1926 – May 6, 2016) was an American radio personality.

He was the host and producer of The Radio Reader, a serial public radio program in which the host reads aloud from contemporary novels.

The program was carried on public broadcasting stations in the United States.

Born and raised in Hillsdale, Michigan, Estell enrolled at the University of Detroit following high school.

After military service, he attended a radio/TV broadcasting school in Los Angeles.

After five years, Estell decided to finish his college studies and entered the radio/TV program at Michigan State University.

1972

He served as chairman of the board for National Public Radio from 1972 to 1974.

He was also the narrator of several commercially available audio books, including Kenneth C. Davis' popular Don't Know Much About History and Don't Know Much about the Civil War.

After more than fifty years, health issues compelled Estell to discontinue his broadcasts.

The concluding episodes of John Grisham's Rogue Lawyer were read by Estell's good friend, Bob Page, former manager of WKAR-TV at Michigan State University.
