Movers and Shakers

The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 27, 2012

On today's New Year's Day show, we're replaying some favorite interviews from last year. Wyclef Jean tells about his journey from Haiti to the housing projects of Brooklyn to Newark and onto the world stage as a member of the Fugees. Director Penny Marshall talks about her life and career in front of—and behind—the camera. Supreme Court lawyer Linda Hirshman tells the story of the gay rights movement. Plus, the one and only Joan Rivers.
