Stephen Colbert to be on NPR tomorrow
By
Yay!! In2TheRoses just pointed out that Stephen is scheduled to be on Fresh Air® with Terry Gross tomorrow! From the NPR site:
Oct. 9 · On the next Fresh Air: Stephen Colbert discusses his real life, and the role he plays as the other Stephen Colbert, the host of Comedy Central’s Colbert Report. He has written a new book called I Am America and So Can You.
Thanks for the heads up, In2TheRoses!
EDITED TO ADD: Obviously there’s a lot of interest in this one. If you miss the broadcast, NPR podcasts the show. It also makes the interviews available on the Fresh Air website later on the day it originally airs. Happy listening!

I’ll probably be in class, does anyone know how soon the Terry Gross segments get posted to iTunes?

You can listen to any Fresh Air show on the Fresh Air website, starting around 3pm (I believe?) on the day the show was originally broadcast.

I’ll bet it’s just a re-run of his second Fresh Air interview.
Don’t want to get my hopes up.

It’s a free podcast on iTunes, right?

Yes, free on iTunes but with a delay. I’m fairly certain it’s NOT a re-run, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

This sounds like a rerun of the November 2005 interview with Stephen.

It’s a brand-new interview and it’s with real Stephen; I’m listening to it now and am very happy. She asks him how he can possibly have time to write a book when he told her last time the show’s routine was unsustainable, and whether he feels he has a role in the political debate. Now they’re talking about BKAD…

I took a lot of notes while listening and produced a rough transcript/summary for those who can’t wait. It’s at
