The Leonard Lopate Show
Proud Traditions
Thursday, May 04, 2006
Sydney Pollack describes his first feature-length documentary—about his longtime friend, the renowned architect Frank Gehry. Plus, the first-ever English translation of the classic French cookbook La Bonne Cuisine. And we’ll start the show off with a look at Bruce Springsteen’s new album, We Shall Overcome--a tribute to American folk music.
Springsteen's Roots
Music writer Alan Light and singer-songwriter Josh Ritter discuss Bruce Springsteen’s new album of traditional folk songs, "We Shall Overcome." The album is a tribute to American roots music, and the influence of Pete Seeger.
French Home Cooking
Paul Aratow translated the first-ever English edition of the 1927 classic French cookbook La Bonne Cuisine. He'll tell us about the book's approach to French home cooking, and explain why Julia Child considered it a staple of her kitchen.
Sydney Pollack on Frank Gehry
Sydney Pollack claims to know nothing about documentary filmmaking, and nothing about architecture. Nevertheless, his latest film is a feature-length documentary about one of the most famous architects in the world: Frank Gehry.
