Fresh Air
Weekdays at noon and midnight.
Fresh Air with Terry Gross and Tonya Mosley is a nationally recognized radio program and podcast, featuring in-depth conversations exploring a wide variety of popular culture, news and issues. The show sets the standard for long-form audio interviews. Presenting Fresh Air with its second Peabody Award, Stephen Colbert said "This NPR staple is where many of us come for some of the most insightful interviews anywhere, a place where artists, musicians, actors, directors, playwrights, authors, poets, showrunners [and] talk show hosts, open up about their work, their process and their life."
"Fresh Air" is produced at WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR.
