Above is a montage of gratuitous sexy man photos of today’s guest, Bradley Cooper. Terry asks him about poses like this on the show today.

TERRY TO BRADLEY: There are certain kinds of sexy man poses that I think are just hysterically funny … particularly true of fashion models, clothes models.  They’re staring at the camera like I am so attractive – “I really can’t believe how attractive I am!” They have this passionate look in their eyes, but you think what is going on in their minds is “If I could make love to anyone in the world, it would be to myself, cause I’m that good looking.’  And then there’s the sexy man pose where he’s running his fingers through his hair, thinking “yeah ladies (or some men) you’d like to be doing this too, wouldn’t ya?” 

Listen to Cooper’s response here. (Spoiler alert: Bradley Cooper draws the line at trampolines.)

Yessss.

'Fresh Air' Bids Farewell To Melody Kramer

melodykramer:

My first time in the studio with Terry…(we recorded twice, on account of nerves.)

The audio won’t be online for another few hours, but if you’ve enjoyed Fresh Air’s tumblr (and other online/social media presences) at all you should check this out because today is Mel’s last day at Fresh Air and she is awesome.

I’ve fallen for all stripes of human beings in this world. I’ve fallen for straight men, I’ve fallen for gay men, I’ve fallen for straight women and gay women. I really have. I had crushes on really every single kind of person in the world. So there was this period of time in my life when I had this sort of romantic idea that everybody was like that, that we’re all human beings and that a person is a person and if there weren’t these sort of societal ideas about gender and sexual orientation, that anybody could fall in love with anybody. Making Humpday was really the experience that showed me that that is not true — that some people really, truly are straight. There’s a spectrum, and some people are really at one or the other.

This is the video ‘webinar’ I gave yesterday about my job. If you’re curious about my anti-strategy social media ‘strategy’ (which I call common sense) feel free to take a look.

Reblogging so I can watch it later. Granted our companies are pretty different but Mel has been killin’ it on the Social Media front (also I marathoned old Wait Waits on the bus back from Boston and totally heard her send-off from that show, haha), this will definitely be worth the 49:05.

I’m a geek. I’m a writer. I spent all of my time in my childhood obsessing about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who. I was alone, I was an outsider, what do you expect? I was that bullied kid at the back of the class weeping for loneliness. I don’t think, generally speaking, people become writers because they were the really good, really cool, attractive kid in class. I’ll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that, I suppose.

Steven Moffat on his childhood. [complete interview here] (via nprfreshair)

nprfreshair: FYI: My editors in DC are currently fighting over who gets to edit Fresh Air’s Doctor Who/Sherlock/Steven Moffat piece today. Man, I love it so much when my favorite things come together (in this case, it’s Doctor Who/Sherlock/Steven Moffat and Terry Gross/Public Radio). When Terry interviewed Peter Jackson (10 years ago… vom.) I sat right up by the radio speakers to listen.

  • Mel: Oh, are you quoting that from High School Musical?
  • Coworker: What?
  • Mel: Oh. I'm guessing I'm the only one here who's seen that movie...
