Fresh Air

Still waiting for Sarah Silverman to apologize for her ch**k slur she and Bill Maher threw off for laughs. Haven’t been able to stand either of them since

Just listened to Terry’s interview with Al Pacino on November 4, 2024. I am grateful to have the opportunity to access her podcast through NPR. It was a sensitive and thoughtful conversation, also, very funny at times. Cheers from Toronto.❤️

Little less Tonya

Longtime fan of Terry Gross and her decades long career of long-form interviews. Her work speaks for itself. For 30+ years the interview form had been twisted by tabloid tv, press junkets and pop culture trends. With the hateful contemporary comment section culture the internet brought us it’s so comforting to hear a singular engaged intellect who has decades long relationships with some of her guests, an obvious research discipline, and an uncanny ability to hold her own with seasoned experts in so many areas of culture, science and always with a deep personal ability for discovery and insight. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard guests truly compelled and wondrous by the insightful questions and observations Terry presents. The dismissive nature from some of the low star reviews here is childish and unbelievably narcissistic. I’m not sure why Apple seems to stick some of the worst permanently in the main page (I've seen the same ones there for months, not sure why since it’s not helpful or interesting to have these personal gripes define what this 40 year catalog of deep and detailed conversations is really about). Ignore the foolish haters and listen for yourselves.
