  Terry Gross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terry Gross (born 1951) is the host and co-executive producer of Fresh Air, an interview-format radio show produced by WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and distributed throughout the United States by National Public Radio.
Because of her haircut, and the number of guests from arts and entertainment (some of whom are gay), Gross said in her autobiography that she is sometimes asked whether she is gay or straight, including one memorable instance where a guest at a social occasion informed her mother-in-law of her speculation.
Gross treats different guests differently; she is often more challenging of political figures, who may have an agenda, than of people in the arts, who may be less manipulative and less prone to expressing themselves in canned "sound-bites."[5]

 CityBeat: Gross National Product (2000-03-02)
Gross has won too many awards to mention, and when it comes to conducting interesting and informative, well-researched interviews, she has few peers.
Not surprisingly, Gross is as attentive as an interviewee as she is when she's asking the questions, though she has said that she finds being interviewed difficult.
As Gross points out, the job of the interviewer is a performance in itself, so I asked her if the interviewer's desire to be liked could get in the way of a good interview.

 All I Did Was Ask by Terry Gross | BustedHalo.com
In the introduction to a collection of her radio interviews broadcast on National Public Radio, Fresh Air host Terry Gross has a few words for potential skeptics: "You may be wondering what the point is of reading interviews that were meant to be listened to," writes Gross, who has hosted Fresh Air since 1975.

Terry Gross, recently referenced in this story involving a Jonathan Franzen interview that had been cut for broadcast, has been kind enough to respond to my questions.
She informs me that “there has been no self-censorship or deals cut to suppress the Franzen interview.” Gross tells me that the audio for the original October 15, 2001 broadcast should have been available on the Fresh Air website and that she was surprised to learn that this wasn’t the case.
While I agree with Gross that a certain degree of audio cleanup is necessary to ensure a professional broadcast, I still remain mystified why additional broadcasts are edited further.

 I am a Christian Too » Terry Gross Interviews Richard Land
Terry later mentioned Wallis’ argument that peace and poverty are moral values and asked Land why conservative Christians focus so much on abortion and gay marriage instead of peace and poverty.
Terry caught him on this, and I think it demonstrates nicely his focus on these two issues while ignoring much more pressing moral issues in the world.
So it was that Terry Gross’ interview of Jim Wallis directly followed her interview of Richard Land, and provided the context for it.
