I am so grateful for the addition of Tonya Mosley to the fresh air team. Her perspective as a journalist and as a black American woman is so valuable in her interviewing and the kind of question she asks.
Keep up the amazing work!
Powers over annunciates so badly he sounds like a Simpson character. Mosley has a monotone voice that has no life. Sorry FA I know you are planning for the future but these two aren’t it!
Such a profound, intelligent interview. Hard to argue when Meacham can quote past presidents/founders/leaders. I fear for our future.
Why? WHYY?
I was floored by the lack of sensitivity this journalist extended to the guest, Loubna Mrie
Her questions to Loubna were centered on U.S. events and scandals
raher than having Loubna’s memoir speak to her experiences on its own terms
very disappointing this is the level of journalism the fresh air production considers worthy
I urge you to do better and to create a safer environments for guest
