“Terry Gross is a skilled interviewer. She's learned, and as I once heard her described "could interview a slug and make it interesting". After G.W. Bush took office she went, as NPR in general and shows such as Frontline on PBS did, on a liberal crusade. If you're a liberal it will be reassuring listening, but for Libertarians and middle of the roaders you will find many of the last 6 years of interviews to be quite biased whenever the guest is of a political bent. It's tiring, and doesn't suit her style. She's at her best when interviewing musicians, actors, writers, etc. Perhaps if a democrat is elected in 2008 she and NPR will relax and get back to what they do best. I hope so. My tax dollars are paying for it.”Read full review »
