Great interviewers (Terri Gross and Tonya!) BUT why are all recent shows focused on such boring topics!!! Please give us more interviews with people interesting entertainment, arts, science, literature, etc. — not more generic news shows!
There’s much to enjoy on Fresh Air - especially the movie and tv reviews - but over the years I’ve become increasingly put-off by Terry Gross’ interviews. Notice how often her guests sound surprised or betrayed by her aggressive lines of questioning. Notice how she picks at other people’s traumas for her own purposes. There’s something manipulative and exploitive about her methods. I often feel complicit in her emotionally abusive behaviors.
