Meet the Press

Governor Edmund Pat Brown

by

Meet the Press is a public-affairs interview program built around direct questioning of prominent newsmakers. In this recording, the guest is California Governor Edmund Pat Brown, whose answers and exchanges with the interviewers are the focus.

The program’s format centers on a panel of journalists asking questions about the guest’s public role and current concerns. Rather than a scripted drama, it offers a sustained conversation in which the questions guide the discussion and the guest responds in his own words.

The appeal is the immediacy of hearing a political figure address a press panel in a broadcast interview. Listeners interested in Brown, California politics, or the style of American public-affairs radio can follow the discussion as it unfolds.
