Professor Emeritus Klaus Krippendorff was a featured guest on The Drexel InterView.

An award-winning production of the Pennoni Honors College at Drexel University, The Drexel InterView is hosted by Paula Marantz Cohen. In each episode, Cohen — best-selling author, critic, and Distinguished Professor of English at Drexel — interviews guests on topics in arts, culture, science, or business.

In a special episode, honoring the 125th Anniversary of Drexel, Cohen's guests were Krippendorff and David Raizman, Drexel professor of art history and interior design. Krippendorff and Raizman are both experts in the study of design as it relates to art and user functionality, and they discuss the transformative power of design, as well as the intersection of design, culture, technology, and art aesthetics in a global market.

The half-hour television series is made available to Public Broadcasting Stations, American Public Television, community access stations, and university/college television stations throughout the U.S. and Canada. Select episodes can be viewed on YouTube.
