The Leonard Lopate Show

Easter painting (William H Bardawil)

Easter Celebration: Gospels, Spirituals and Hymns

Friday, April 09, 2004

Leonard starts off the show by resurrecting some of his gospel music favorites in celebration of Easter. Then, guest host Marty Goldensohn sits in for Leonard for the rest of the show – first he talks with film scholar Kevin Brownlow about the legend of Cecil B. DeMille. Brownlow worked with DeMille’s family and collaborators to make a new documentary about the director. Then Ann Bookman explains how she thinks America’s working families can survive increasingly rigid work schedules, long commutes, and inadequate access to child care.
