NPR Host Featured on Slate Videos
 "A card table, two microphones, and NPR's Alex Chadwick" is how Slate V describes its series Interviews 50 Cents. Of course, there's also a camera crew nearby to capture the interchange on video. Alex sets up his table in cities across the country to interview passers-by. Some are light, some more serious, but all of the interviews offer a glimpse into the lives of the people who respond to the invitation to stop for a chat. Alex has worked on several NPR programs over his 30+ years at the network, but currently he hosts Day to Day weekdays at noon on KGOU.
