their librarian Kee Maleski to each show. Ms. Gross may be the

CHICAGO, Jan. 21, 2015—The American

that has been produced by WHYY-FM, and distributed by NPR, since 1987. Gross
has won praise over the years for her low-key and friendly yet probing
interview style and the diversity of her guests, often asking them well
researched and unexpected questions about their early careers. Ever-inquisitive
and nuanced, she gives her listeners unique access to the perspectives of
thought leaders in the arts, sciences, and popular culture through her thorough
and often revelatory interviews.”Fresh Air” is currently broadcast on nearly
600 stations and became the first non-drive time show in public radio history
to reach more than 5 million listeners a week. “Fresh Air” and Gross have
received a number of awards over the years including the Peabody Award in 1994;
an America Women in Radio and Television National Network Radio Personality
