Barry Farber
Columnist and Talk-Show Host
Before leaving college Barry had been editor of a daily newspaper, a wrestler, a steel worker, a representative of American college students in Yugoslavia and Brazil, an interpreter for units of the Chinese Nationalist Navy, and a Phi Beta Kappa student. Since then, Barry's news coverage has taken him in and out of trouble spots all over the world He led Hungarians across the border after their revolution and sped to Cuba after the fall of Batista, beating Fidel Castro to Havana by five days! Barry reported on the repression of Soviet Jews from the Moscow synagogue beginning in 1956.
When Barry first came on the air with his own talk-radio show in 1960, his New York audience puzzled over his southern accent, but continued to cheer him onward until The Barry Farber Show grew to become no less than a full 25% of the entire weekly programming of New York's dominant talk station, WOR.
In 1991, Barry's nationally syndicated radio show won him the title of "Talk Show Host of The Year." His numerous articles have appeared in the "New York Times," "Readers Digest," The "Washington Post," and the "Saturday Review," to name a few. After a lifetime of study, Barry is accomplished in dozens of languages including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Indonesian, Hungarian, Finnish, Yiddish, and two dialects of Chinese. He is also an accomplished author, having written "Making People Talk" and "How to Learn Any Language." The Barry Farber Show is currently syndicated nationally to over 100 stations via the TRN radio network.
