Investigative Satirist Paul Krassner Interviewed by Steve Post
NYPR Archives & Preservation | Jul 24, 2019
Satirist Paul Krassner passed away this past Sunday. In 2004 WNYC host Steve Post spoke with Krassner, whom he described as "a kind of counter-cultural renaissance man." Writer, publisher editor, activist, psychedelic explorer, and concert violinist, Krassner considered himself an investigative satirist. People magazine called him the father of the underground press, while the FBI deemed him “a raving, unconfined nut.” This program was first broadcast on June 5, 2004 as a No Show special.
Note: Due to licensing considerations, we had to remove the commercial music used in this program. The interview, however, is faithful to the original broadcast.
