Name: From the Archives: Sacha Baron Cohen On 'Borat' by Fresh Air From WHYY
Duration: 51 min 6 s
Description: In 2007 while promoting the film 'Borat,' director/writer/star Sacha Baron Cohen did almost all press in character as Borat. We were lucky enough to get an interview with Cohen out of character, and it ended up being a staff favorite. We noticed the audio it isn't online, so here it is.

This is quite interesting and answered one of the questions that I was wondering about, but could not find in print anywhere. How does Sacha Baron Cohen feel when he is acting in character as Borat across from these people who are being asked ridiculous questions, or put in very uncomfortable situations. Around 9:27.

s01 - e02 - What's My Name?

I've spent the last year laying the groundwork to release new music. It's been going well except for one small problem: I don't have a name. With every passing day I can't decide on one, this seemingly small problem becomes bigger and bigger, until now I'm held hostage from moving forward without it. In a desperate attempt to solve the problem, I explore the importance of a name, leading me to fascinating conversations, and a few hilariously bad decisions.

Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Peabody Award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, is one of public radio's most popular programs. Each week, nearly 4.5 million people listen to the show's intimate conversations broadcast on more than 500 National Public Radio (NPR) stations across the country, as well as in Europe on the World Radio Network.

Though Fresh Air has been categorized as a "talk show," it hardly fits the mold. Its 1994 Peabody Award citation credits Fresh Air with "probing questions, revelatory interviews and unusual insights." And a variety of top publications count Gross among the country's leading interviewers. The show gives interviews as much time as needed, and complements them with comments from well-known critics and commentators.

Fresh Air is produced at WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR.
