The Connection was a radio call-in program from WBUR that ran from 1994 to 2005. Originally hosted by Christopher Lydon (1994–2001), and (after a series of short-term fill-in hosts) followed by Dick Gordon (2001–2005), it was syndicated to as many as 66 public radio stations in the United States.

In March 2001, Lydon was mysteriously dissmissed after negotiations for renewal of his contract broke down. WBUR had offered a huge salary, but Lydon wanted part-ownership of the program, since he felt that he and producer Mary McGrath had grown the show from nothing to being widely syndicated. He was abruptly locked out of the offices after management decided it couldn't or wouldn't give them part-ownership. According to Lydon, salary was not the issue. Lydon now hosts the WGBH radio show Open Source.

Dick Gordon became the show's host just after the September 11, 2001 attacks. He eventually took the program to Baghdad for 10 days in April 2003.Conflict in Iraq field reports, WBUR
