So good
Always wonderful
Amazing voice and depth
Terry‘s voice is so wonderful to listen to. I love to hear the podcast in the evening while in bed with my eyes closed. Terry is full of empathy, she‘s smart, witty, educaded, impressively well prepared, just one of a kind - a real professional. By far the best anchor and questionar in the radio business. Terry‘s show is the crown jewels of Public Radio. The title says it all. The show covers a wide range of in-depth talk and themes from politics, current affairs, to tv, music and literature. Terry’s introduction, the pronounciation of her saying „welcome to fresh air“ is legendary. I love it!
no name
The worst podcast. They do not even check the most basic facts. Shame!
