"Tell Me More is a gathering place for dialogue about the important issues facing the country," says Martin.

Is that real?" The show digs in to pursue stories and ideas that uncover, explain, and portray experiences and people that are rarely given voice yet speak to how we live. "Tell Me More lets me bring together two longtime passions," says Martin, "the intimacy and warmth you experience with powerful radio, and the lively, sharp debate about things going on in the world that I enjoy having with friends of diverse backgrounds." - Fresh Air with Terry Gross is one of public radio's most-popular programs.
