Radio
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:
“Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.”
—Max Lerner (b. 1902)
“Now they can do the radio in so many languages that nobody any longer dreams of a single language, and there should not any longer be dreams of conquest because the globe is all one, anybody can hear everything and everybody can hear the same thing, so what is the use of conquering.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
