Irwin served as host, storyteller, and self-proclaimed "audience trainer" of the Evening Star radio show, a one-hour program of music and storytelling on Georgia Public Broadcasting. Irwin began each radio broadcast by performing the show's theme song (which he composed), then he told a story and introduced the musical performer(s).
The Evening Star radio show was recorded live at the Evening Star Music Series at the Sautee Nacoochee Center, which is located in the foothills of Northeast Georgia near Helen . The monthly series of concerts featured the nation's top songwriters and contemporary folk musicians.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“Denouement to denouement, he took a personal pride in the
certain, certain way he lived his own, private life,
but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless,
the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called;
nevertheless, the radio broke,
And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”
—Kenneth Fearing (1902–1961)
“... the ... radio station played a Chopin polonaise. On all the following days news bulletins were prefaced by Chopin—preludes, etudes, waltzes, mazurkas. The war became for me a victory, known in advance, Chopin over Hitler.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
