Kundrecensioner
NPR Fresh Air - always interesting
I was listening to NPR all the time while living in the US. One of my absolute favorite shows was Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Always Intelligent and penetrating interviews with interesting people. Topics range from culture, science to movies and books. Most music segments are shortened due to copyright reasons, which suits me just fine - it's the interviews I want. Now I can listen to Fresh Air every day in Sweden too.
It's the best
Wonderful!
Best radio show in the world
You can't beat Terry!
