Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, as well as new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and it often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Richard Kind plays to the largest audience of his life in 'Everybody's Live': Kind is the announcer and host sidekick on the Netflix show Everybody's Live with John Mulaney. "I don't know what the hell I'm doing. You must understand — it's anarchy," he says of the show.
Jon Hamm puts a twist on his Don Draper swagger in 'Your Friends & Neighbors': Wealth comes lined with rage and melancholy in a new Apple TV+ series about a hedge-fund hotshot who loses his job and begins to steal from his suburban friends.
Melinda French Gates on what billionaires with 'absurd' wealth owe back to society: In a new memoir, French Gates writes about the end of her marriage to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and her ongoing philanthropic work, directing funds and attention to women's health initiatives.
Editors Note: The Gates Foundation is among NPR's financial supporters. Melinda French Gates is no longer with the foundation.
