Happy Birthday, Liane Hansen! Your soothing voice and witty charm made Weekend Edition Sunday a delightful ritual for countless listeners. Who else could gracefully navigate from serious news to quirky stories about singing whales or competitive pumpkin growers?

May this birthday bring as much joy as those memorable interviews that left us smiling over our morning coffee. Here's hoping you're enjoying retirement with fewer deadlines—and more brunches!
