~50% of this archive is just Terri Gross telling people about themselves to them. I was always so perplexed at how she could secure interviews with so many interesting people, then just talk through the whole thing, literally talking over interviewees to tell interviewees what they said or what happened to them. I miss pre-Trump NPR so much, but Fresh Air has always been an immensely frustrating program.
As interesting as a lot of these interviews might seem based on subject, I think many people would get a lot more out of a Big Broadcast with Ed Walker archive.
- unethical_ban 7y agoI miss pre-Trump America, too. On topic, though, a good interview is engaging to the listeners, and not every interviewee is interesting on their own. It is her job to set the stage, to guide the conversation to find the most unique and intriguing things about a person or a story.
