Fresh Air
Weekdays, 7-8 p.m.
Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Peabody Award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues. Though Fresh Air has been categorized as a “talk show,” it hardly fits the mold. It gives interviews as much time as needed, and complements them with comments from well-known critics and commentators. Fresh Air is produced at WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR.
