Terry Gross has been asking people deep, well-researched questions on the radio for over 40 years. I’ve noticed one of the things that makes her so good is that she’s is an excellent listener. This photo is of her getting interviewed by Marc Maron (in front of a live audience). Very funny and revealing, listen.
Here’s an interview she did with John Oliver on her show Fresh Air.

StoryCorps’ mission is to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world.
We do this to remind one another of our shared humanity, to strengthen and build the connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters. At the same time, we are creating an invaluable archive for future generations.
Most stories are under 3 minutes - but often pack quite an emotional punch. Listen/watch a recently animated story here.
