One of NPR’s most popular hosts and most respected journalists is also an author. Scott Simon, host of Weekend Edition Saturday, has written five books: two about baseball, two novels, and one about adoption, due out later this year.  Simon knows the topic well… he and his wife have adopted two girls from China. He talked about that recently with Capital Public Radio’s Jeffrey Callison.

Scott Simon speaks tonight at the Crest Theater as part of California Lectures.
