One of the more memorable classes I took at RU was Richard Hefner's journalism class. Great guy and great teacher!

Surprised I've never come across this show before. Looks interesting.

Yes it was shown in the middle of the day on Saturday's on WNET. It was a very thoughtful interview show. Sort of a Charlie Rose without the show biz and celebrity figures. I'm guessing from your handle you are too young to remember "Agronsky & Company" which despite John McLaughlin's claim to be the "original", in fact RU alum Martin Agronsky was behind the first "talking heads" journalist show.

Have to admit I'm not familiar with Agronsky.
