Daniel has appeared on national radio countless times, previously in his capacity as a regular commentator on NPR’s All Things Considered, and as an occasional guest on Weekend Edition Saturday, where he reviews outstanding children’s books with host Scott Simon. Here’s a list of his appearances on the radio and in other media. Click on the link under “Program/Website” to listen. (There is also a list on NPR’s website which is a bit neater, but also a bit less comprehensive.)
