Airlines may be charging for checked luggage and cutting back on their flights. But some are adding iPod docks, satellite radio and even HBO shows. Today: why passengers are getting more options for in-flight entertainment. Also: Kimya Dawson, the co-founder of the low-fi band Moldy Peaches talks about how her music became the signature sound in the hit film "Juno."
Living Room Luxuries, in the Air
Airlines are taking a closer look at the entertainment options they provide passengers -- from new music systems with iPod connectivity to satellite radio to other on-demand programming. Some features even apply to coach. Guests include Mary Kirby, senior editor of Flight International magazine and proprietor of the Runway Girl blog. Also joining us is Jon Zellner, the Senior Vice President of Music Programming at XM Satellite Radio, which provides in-flight programming for several major air carriers.
Kimya Dawson
The Moldy Peaches song "Anyone Else But You" is a memorable track from the star-studded soundtrack to the film "Juno." Kimya Dawson, co-founder of the indie band and a solo artist, talks about the role her songs play in an offbeat movie about teen pregnancy. And, she performs in our studio.
