PROVO — Lloyd Newell, professor at Brigham Young University and voice of the broadcast "Music and the Spoken Word," will speak Thursday at 2 p.m. at the Harold B. Library's House of Learning Lecture in the library auditorium on the first level.
"An Enduring Legacy: Richard L. Evans and the Spoken Word" will be the topic as Newell discusses the original voice of the program that has endured for 77 years. Through recession and prosperity, wartime and peacetime, the radio and television program is the longest-running show ever, now heard or seen on 2,000 stations in 20 countries.
The lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer session. For more details, visit the library's Web site at www.library.byu.edu.
