The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010

Christopher Walken talks about his life, career, and returning to Broadway as the star of “A Behanding in Spokane.” And we’ll speak with museum guards about their own artwork. Then, we’ll take a look at the hundreds of thousands of condolence letters Jackie Kennedy received after her husband’s assassination. Plus, our latest Underreported segment looks at oyster poaching in the Chesapeake. And our Back Story segment looks at life in Ukraine 20 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union!

Leonard Lopate has been with WNYC for 25 years!
You’re invited to celebrate his anniversary at a star-studded roast tonight! Tickets will no longer be available online today after 2:00 pm, but they are still available at the door. Find out more here!
