Sumukha,
Rushdie will be on Tues September 27.
Agree, Sophie, Andrea Bernstein could learn a lot from several other broadcasters. Forrest is great -- almost as good as Lopate!
Elliott Forrest conducts very good interviews. I really appreciate his questions and the way he allows the interviewee to answer questions fully without interruptions. Andrea Bernstein could take a few lessons from him and learn.
I thought it's going to be Salman Rushdie!!
