Synopsis
Exhilarating, thought-provoking interviews from the Peabody Award-winning public radio show.
'Fresh Air with Terry Gross,' the award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, is one of public radio's most popular programs. Each week, nearly 4.5 million people listen to the show's intimate conversations, broadcast nationwide on more than 450 National Public Radio (NPR) stations and in Europe on the World Radio Network. Drawn from 13 years of engaging, intelligent talks with actors, directors, playwrights, producers, icons, and legends, this collection features many interviews never before available on CD.
