The Leonard Lopate Show | Jul 14, 2011

We start off today’s show with a Please Explain look at forest fires. Then, “Weird Al” Yankovic talks about his pioneering career in music, his latest album, “Alpocalypse”, and trying his hand at authoring a children’s book. Rebecca Wolff tells us about her new novel, The Beginners. Plus, we wrap up our Friday with a strong drink to kick off our new Summer Stuff series! Two mixologists stop by to take your calls on making the perfect summer cocktail!
