'''''Weekend Edition''''' is a set of American [[radio]] [[news magazine]] programs produced and distributed by National Public Radio ([[NPR]]). It is the weekend counterpart to the NPR radio program ''[[Morning Edition]]''. It consists of '''''Weekend Edition Saturday''''' and '''''Weekend Edition Sunday''''', each of which airs for two hours, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM Eastern time, with refeeds until 2:00 PM. ''Weekend Edition Saturday'' is hosted by [[Scott Simon]], while ''Weekend Edition Sunday'' has been hosted by [[Lulu Garcia-Navarro]] since January 8, 2017.
The programs feature longer stories than most NPR news magazines and more arts and culture stories. On Saturdays the program featured an exchange between the program's host and the late commentator, [[Daniel Schorr]], during which they discussed the events of the past week. Until February 10, 2008, on Sundays the show broadcast '''''Voices in the News''''', an audio montage of sound clips from the week's events. Sundays continue to have the "Puzzle" game with ''[[The New York Times|New York Times]]'' [[The New York Times crossword puzzle|crossword puzzle]] editor [[Will Shortz]]. The puzzle segment usually airs approximately 40 min past the start of the first hour of the program.
