The program is an hour of conversation and popular songs. Selections include works by Lerner and Loewe, Kurt Weill, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Paul McCartney, Noel Coward, Mitch Leigh, Rodgers and Hart, and Cole Porter. The show's intermission feature is an interview with Tom Pendleton of the Dome Project, a youth center in New York.
