Fresh Air on WFAE

Monday-Thursday at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 3:00

Hosted by Terry Gross

Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Peabody Award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, is one of public radio's most popular programs.

Though Fresh Air has been categorized as a "talk show," it hardly fits the mold.

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.
