Fresh Air NPR

I have to say the interview with Adam Cohen, son of Leonard Cohen was so great. The younger Cohen’s refusal to read his father’s poetry was so enjoyable. Terry Gross’s frustration was so palpable. That makes for great radio.

I was very excited to have access to Fresh Air as a podcast since I'm usually working when the show airs. The interviews are great, but the editing has been disappointing. Segment changes are choppy and episodes often end mid-sentence. The Ken Burns segment of March 15 was a particular disappointment, ending less than 10 minutes into the episode. I love the show! I just hope the editing improves.

The way Terry continues to mishandle interviews surrounding Me Too and sexual assault is horribly uncomfortable. From Tig Notaro to Reese Witherspoon, it’s impossible to listen to Terry make these women squirm and treat them with barely a modicum of decency.
