In 2019, the popular radio talk show Fresh Air put up the Fresh Air Archive, featuring over 22,000 segments from their show, which has been airing for over 40 years since 1975. Terry Gross has been conducting interviews on the show since then, and in 1987, they started broadcasting the show on National Public Radio all across the United States. Fresh Air was also an early adopter of the podcast medium and their popular Fresh Air Podcast offers about the last 500 episodes that they have broadcast.
The Fresh Air Archive goes much deeper, featuring 22,000 segments of reviews, commentary, and many interviews. It took us a while, but we went through all 11,000 interviews in the archive and picked out over 400 of the best interviews of notable people from the past 40 years. Many interviews cover the news and politics of the time, and we highlight some of those segments in our list for major historical news events. Mostly, though, we feature interviews with the authors, artists, filmmakers, actors, musicians, and other leading thinkers that continue to be relevant to this day. While some books, movies, and music have faded from memory, we tried to pick out interviews with people whose works have stood the test of time.
In general, we picked out only one interview from each person, although there are some people that Terry Gross turned to many times for interviews. Some of the notable figures with many interviews that you may want to check out include filmmaker John Waters, storyteller Spalding Gray, author John Updike, comedian-turned-politician Al Franken, comedian and radio host Harry Shearer, psychiatrist and author Robert Jay Lifton, political commentator Thomas Friedman, author and radio personality Garrison Keillor, and humorist and author David Sedaris.
The Fresh Air archive is also very well organized by Topic. In the early days of the show, they covered the topic of jazz a lot, and they feature over 1,300 segments on Jazz. They also extensively covered the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and the many news stories surrounding the Trump era. Browsing the Fresh Air Archive by Topic is well worth doing if youre looking for a specific category of interviews. The archive is also organized by Collections, Guests, and By Date.
We went through the entire archive of Fresh Air interviews by date, starting with the oldest interviews in 1975 and going up to interviews in the current year of 2023. So that is how well present this list. Well list the year alongside each interview and the runtime of the interview (the ones we picked usually range from 20 to 50 minutes in length). And well link directly to the interview on the Fresh Air Archive website. So without further ado, here are the 400 Best Interviews from the Fresh Air Archive:
