— the Maud Moon Weyerhaeuser Studio ("Studio M") — a beautiful space with 20-foot windows overlooking St. Paul's cathedral district. This inspired producer Tom Voegeli, then working in national programming for MPR, to create a new show that would play to the studio's strengths. Voegeli came up with the idea for ''Saint Paul Sunday Morning'', with McGlaughlin as host — a distinctive, intimate program which would present world-class musicians, live, to a national audience. Voegeli also wanted McGlaughlin to sound like a musician rather than like a broadcaster, and to share his own spontaneous, animated enthusiasm with listeners.
The show debuted on MPR in 1980, and was picked up nationally in 1981, eventually shortening its name to ''Saint Paul Sunday'' to allow stations to broadcast it at any time of the day on Sunday. The series' unique approach and sense of exuberance and curiosity won it hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic listeners, and the 1995 Peabody Award
