"The Bob Edwards Show" is an American radio program presented by "XM Satellite Radio" every weekday morning at 8 a.m. Eastern, with repeats at 8 a.m. Central, 7 a.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. Mountain, and the next morning at 7 a.m. Eastern. The program is available 24/7 on [http://xmro.xmradio.com/ XM Radio Online] .

The show is hosted by Bob Edwards, a Peabody Award-winning member of the National Radio Hall of Fame. Edwards was once the co-host of National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" and who hosted NPR's "Morning Edition" from the first episode to April 30, 2004 when he was re-assigned to another position within NPR, despite email objections from more than fifty thousand listeners. Edwards left his new assignment almost immediately, as Hugh Panero, CEO of XM Radio, offered Edwards a daily show.

"The Bob Edwards Show" continues the tradition of interviewing interesting people in all walks of life that Edwards exemplified on "Morning Edition", but now in long form. Edwards told the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer's Terrance Smith, "The longest interview I could do on the air for "Morning Edition" was eight minutes. Now I can interview someone for up to an hour. So it's a freer, more open, more relaxed and enjoyable conversation. The program's really about conversation." The show's first broadcast was on October 4, 2004, staffed by experienced public radio veterans. The first program included weekly political commentator Washington Post columnist David S. Broder, USA Today Supreme Court reporter Joan Biskupic, former CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite, and Eugene Robinson, author of Last Dance in Havana.

In 2006, interviews with musicians earned "The Bob Edwards Show" the Deems Taylor Award from ASCAP. The program also received a Gabriel Award from the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals for an interview with Father Gregory Boyle, a Jesuit priest who works with Latino gang members in east Los Angeles. The show earned a second Gabriel Award in 2007 for "Exploding Heritage," a documentary about mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia. "Exploding Heritage" also received the National Press Club's Robert L. Kozic Award for environmental reporting, a New York Festivals Gold World Medal for best program on the environment, and an award from the Society of Environmental Journalists. In 2008, "The Bob Edwards Show" received an Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio-Television News Directors Association and a New York Festivals/United Nations Gold Award for a documentary called "The Invisible--Children Without Homes." "The Invisible" also was honored by the Journalism Center on Children and Families and by the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals.

XM Radio also produces the compilation program "Bob Edwards Weekend", distributed by Public Radio International for use by "terrestrial" public radio stations. It premiered on January 7-8, 2006, consisting of re-edited interviews from the weekday program.
