Episode 11: Ari Shapiro

Unsurprisingly, Ari is a fantastic interview. He tells me about his very first book, as well as hilarious listener hate mail, and whether he’ll ever do television journalism in this very fabulous episode of Front Row, with my friend Ari Shapiro. Thank you for listening! And enjoy!

Ari Shapiro is known for many things. He is a longtime host of NPR’s “All Things Considered”, a Yale graduate, a guest performer with Pink Martini, the band that bridges the gaps between jazz, classical, and pop, and if that wasn’t enough, Ari tours as a cabaret performer with Alan Cumming in their original show, “Och and Oy”. Ari’s first book, The Best Strangers In The World, out March 21st 2023, takes us around the globe to reveal the stories behind narratives that are sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, but always poignant.
