Reviews
- Excellent interviews, though many people appear to miss the point
You are not meant to agree with every interview subject that appears on Fresh Air. The 1 star reviews are selfish, ignorant folks not deserving of the wonderful work Terry and crew do on this program, and that's coming from someone who disagrees with many guests, sometimes multiple a week!

Just want to say I knew Terry Gross when she had a head of wild red hair, and we brought sack lunches to talk with her at noon times on Penn campus. She was so nervous 😄 and look at the track record since. Sooo proud of her, now producing 😊 Thank you for all the years of prepping, reading, researching that are your life work. more
