OUTRO: "Banjo Medley" (We Shall Overcome) This is the second of two programs devoted to the life and art of legendary folksinger and political activist, Pete Seeger. The program features segments from a conversation Steve Post recently had with Seeger in the WNYC studios. Pete relates his experiences as an activist artist and tells us how he remains optimistic and engaged. And, of course, the music is grand.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
