Elmore Leonard & High School Band Finale

Studio 360 | Aug 21, 2013

This week in Studio 360, we remember master crime writer Elmore Leonard, who died this week, with an interview from 2005. Our Battle of the High School Bands concludes when rock star judges Andrew W.K. and Thao Nguyen pick a winning song and unveil their cover version. Kurt asks Tony Hale about playing TV’s most lovable losers. We visit an installation by artist James Turrell, whose works hold light the way a cup holds water. Plus, more homework: name six great American artists who deserve to be on our paper money — we’ll see if we can convince the folks over at the Treasury Department.

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