It consists of '''''Weekend Edition Saturday''''' and '''''Weekend Edition Sunday''''', each of which airs for two hours, from 8:00{{nbsp}}a.m. to 10:00{{nbsp}}a.m. Eastern time, with refeeds until 2:00  p.m. ''Weekend Edition Saturday'' is hosted by [[Scott Simon]]. ''Weekend Edition Sunday'' is hosted by [[Ayesha Rascoe]].
