March 10th, 2008 - Podcatching: Fresh Air
Fresh Air is a daily NPR show of interviews. Usually each day has one topic, with 1-6 parts, but sometimes it range widely. Since there are 5 hours a week, I usually listen to only the most interesting ones. And they are very wide ranging on every topic–movies, the environment, politics, war, new books, human suffering and God.
Here’s part of the website description: “Though Fresh Air has been categorized as a “talk show,” it hardly fits the mold. Its 1994 Peabody Award citation credits Fresh Air with ‘probing questions, revelatory interviews and unusual insights.’ And a variety of top publications count Gross among the country’s leading interviewers. The show gives interviews as much time as needed, and complements them with comments from well-known critics and commentators.”
