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.

Niko Kotoulas started playing piano at the age of two and has never stopped. Within a few years of publically releasing music, the Greek-American and New York-based pianist, producer and educator has quietly generated over 50 million streams with support from The Chainsmokers, Lauv, Swedish House Mafia and countless artists. His music has been played on TV channels including NBC and ESPN. Niko also runs PianoForProducers.com, an e-learning platform teaching music producers piano fundamentals.

Inspired by everyone from Beethoven to Avicii, Niko has played through and studied over 5,000 songs in his lifetime. While attending Johns Hopkins University, he suffered a season-ending injury in basketball, which gave him free time to create piano arrangements and start his YouTube channel. After graduating from University, Niko continued to release piano arrangements while working full-time on Wall Street - this is when he started to gain recognition for his music.

Given his streaming success and official placement on Spotify’s “Acoustic Calm” playlist, Niko left his Wall Street job to pursue music full-time. He immersed himself in learning electronic music production and received his first official remix "Leave" for Borgeous and Jordyn Jones seven months after leaving his old career path.

Over the next few years, Niko will be releasing both piano arrangements and electronic dance music, while growing his platform on PianoForProducers.com, helping the music producer community.

Ryan Mackay is a Scottish musician and songwriter, whose journey began in live music before an unexpected opportunity led him into the electronic dance scene. Originally gaining recognition under his stage name RYZY, Ryan performed internationally, supporting major acts and charting on platforms like the US Billboard.

Despite his success in electronic music, Ryan’s roots have always been in live performance, where he connects most deeply with his audience. Today, Ryan is returning to those roots, focusing on a more personal, rock and pop-driven sound that reflects his authentic storytelling and emotional depth. His music blends the raw energy of live instruments with introspective lyrics, creating a sound that resonates with themes of self-discovery and human connection.

Now developing his solo material while continuing collaborations with other musicians, Ryan is set to carve a new path, embracing his original passion for live music.
