Fresh Air Weekend is a popular radio show that features interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians. The weekend program includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts and offers new program elements specifically designed for weekends.
One of the highlights of this week’s show is an interview with Andrew Scott, who plays Tom Ripley in the Netflix adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Scott discusses his approach to playing con man Ripley and emphasizes the importance of humanizing his characters rather than judging them.
Another feature on the show is a review of Lionel Shriver’s new novel “Mania,” which satirizes anti-intellectualism in an alternative America where discrimination against those perceived as less intelligent is being confronted. The book has been praised for its clever commentary on societal biases.
Finally, author Nancy Nichols delves into the gendered nature of cars in her book “Women Behind the Wheel.” She explores how cars have different meanings for men and women, with men associating cars with adventure and power while women often view them as tools for domestic duties.
