An Evening with Terry Gross
Monday, 09 Apr 2007 at 8:00 pm – Stephens Auditorium, ISU Center -- Free Admission
Terry Gross is the host of Fresh Air, National Public Radio's weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, where her interviews are heard by more than 4.7 million people on more than 450 public radio stations. Her guests have included many of the most celebrated artists, writers, actors, and musicians of our time, such as Philip Roth, James Brown, John Travolta, Sonny Rollins, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. She is known for her thoughtful, probing interview style. In her trusted company, even the most reticent guest relaxes and reflects on his or her life and work. But Gross doesn't shy away from controversy or asking challenging questions. That's why Bill O'Reilly terminated his interview with her. Her interview with Gene Simmons of Kiss inspired Entertainment Weekly to name Simmons "Crackpot of the Year - Male." Part of the National Affairs series.Cosponsored By:
