The History of The Drexel InterView

The Drexel InterView had its debut in 2004 when Drexel University decided to take advantage of the many important figures in science, business, art, and culture who pass through Philadelphia each year. Drexel's art museum, the A.J. Drexel Picture Gallery, had recently been renovated, making it an ideal setting for a television program that would engage its guests in discussions of some depth. Paula Marantz Cohen, a Distinguished Professor of English, whose fields of research and writing spanned a variety of fields, volunteered to serve as host. Charles Fuller, Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright, was the show's first guest.

Approximately one dozen guests are interviewed each year; more than 100 programs have been produced to date. The shows air on over 325 PBS and community- and university-affiliated stations throughout the country. The Drexel InterView is currently housed in Drexel's Pennoni Honors College, whose Dean, Dave Jones, serves as Executive Producer. It has won numerous awards from the Philadelphia Press Association.
