Fresh Air
Weekdays at noon and midnight.
The midnight re-broadcast will change to 9 p.m. starting July 3.
An award-winning show and one of public radio's most iconic programs, "Fresh Air" is a weekday "talk show" that hardly fits the mold.
Fresh Air opens the window on contemporary arts and issues with guests from worlds as diverse as literature and economics. Terry Gross is known for her extraordinary ability to engage guests of all dispositions.
"Fresh Air" is produced at WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR.
In April of 2023, Tonya Mosley was named co-host of Fresh Air.
