Voice of America
In the late 1980s, Bertel moved to the Washington, D.C. area where he became the executive producer for the Voice of America. In the early 1990s, Bertel worked for two years in Munich, heading VOA Europe, the Voice of America's pop music service aimed at western European listeners. Returning to Washington, he created Talk to America, a call-in show heard internationally.
Having recently retired from Voice of America, Bertel now resides in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C.

Famous quotes containing the words voice of, voice and/or america:
“And, shrilling from the solar course,
Or from fruit of chemic force,
Procession of a soul in matter,
Or the speeding change of water,
Or out of the good of evil born,
Came Uriel’s voice of cherub scorn,
And a blush tinged the upper sky,
And the gods shook, they knew not why.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our frigate takes fire,
The other asks if we demand quarter?
If our colors are struck and the fighting done?
Now I laugh content for I hear the voice of my little captain,
We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
