Best Of: Jenny Slate / Julio Torres
Jenny Slate talks about childbirth and motherhood, the subjects of her new comedy special, Seasoned Professional. She'll do the voices of some of her animated characters, including Marcel from her Oscar-nominated film Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.
Also, we hear from comic/actor Julio Torres. Growing up in El Salvador as a gay atheist he says he felt like an alien.

What Makes Propaganda Effective?
We talk with Peter Pomerantsev, whose new book, How to Win an Information War, is about the man he describes as the "forgotten genius" of propaganda. Throughout WWII, Sefton Delmer ran propaganda campaigns for the British against Hitler's regime. Some of those efforts bordered on pornography. We'll also talk about witnessing Putin's use of disinformation when Pomerantsev worked in Russia, and his work as the co-founder of a project documenting Russian war crimes in Ukraine.

Inside America’s First Family
I love Fresh Air! So glad I’ve been able to follow Terry Gross all over the world as I travel for work.
But this particular episode of “Inside America’s First Family”, it played half of the commercial opening then suddenly no audio. Can you check why? Or is it just mine didn’t download properly?
I’ve been able to listen all episodes. This is the first time this happened.

I'm a great fan of Terry Gross! Her English is clear and easy to listen to a non-native English speakers.
A Great International Treat from iTunes!
Fresh Air is one of NPR's best features...ever! When I lived in the States it was always good. Now I've lived in Japan for almost 20 years and I just rediscovered this show as a podcast. What a lucky break: I downloaded as many as they had on hand and that included their December review selection: "Best of 2009"! Terry Gross, with her wonderful voice and interesting guests, is still a breath of "fresh air" after all this time, and global mileage. Thank you, iTunes Japan!
