“Melissa Harris-Perry has brought a huge breath of fresh air to NPR as well as to The Takeaway. Her gifts include the fact that she relies on her academic discipline to always be thoroughly prepared for her interviews. And then, in the most empathetic way I have ever heard on either radio or TV, she is able to connect with her guests and put them so completely at ease. This is especially true with guests who have to relate their own personal tragedies or traumas. Her ability to gently lead such guests to relate these difficult experiences without breaking down on the air
is singular within the broadcast media. This ability, in my estimation, makes a living legend within NPR, and is why I try to listen to her live broadcast everyday. Thank you, Melissa!”
