Bob Edwards Weekend, December 21-22, 2013
HOUR ONE:
Doyle McManus, Washington columnist for the Los Angeles Times, joins Bob to discuss the latest political news.
Bob talks to journalist and author James Bamford about the significance of everything we’ve learned so far from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Actor Oscar Isaac stars as the title character in the new Coen Brothers’ film Inside Llewyn Davis. Set in 1960s Greenwich Village during the folk music boom, the film charts a week-in-the-life of a struggling musician.
Then, the latest installment of our ongoing series This I Believe.
HOUR TWO:
Buck Owens developed the “Bakersfield Sound” of country music, hosted Hee-Haw and became one of country music’s biggest stars – all while breaking every rule of Nashville. Bob talks with Grammy-nominated record producer Randy Poe about his new book about Owens titled Buck ‘Em! Poe drew from nearly a hundred hours of cassette tapes on which Owens recorded his life story in his own words.
