When Malcolm Gladwell presented NPR's Throughline podcast with a Peabody Award, he praised it for its historical and moral clarity. On Throughline, we take you back in time to the origins of what's in the news, like presidential power, aging, and evangelicalism. Time travel with us every week on the Throughline podcast from NPR.
From WHYY in Philadelphia, this is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Mosley. Today, actor Richard Kind. You've seen him on countless TV shows and films during his 40-year career. Only Murders in the Building, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Spin City, Mad About You, and A Serious Man, just to name a few. He's now the announcer and sidekick on Everybody's Live with John Mulaney. Plus, he knows how to tell a joke.
Oh, I got lots of them. Nobody tells a joke better than I do. He'll share one of his favorites. Melinda French Gates also joins us to talk about her new book, The Next Day, which reflects on motherhood, grief, philanthropy, and life after divorce. Gates is the former co-chair of the Gates Foundation and founder of Pivotal Ventures, which focuses on advancing women and families.
And John Powers reviews the new TV series, Your Friends and Neighbors, starring Jon Hamm. That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend.
We go to the story and take you along with us wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, it's A. Martinez. Even as the host of a news show, it can be hard to keep up with the headlines. That is why we make the Up First podcast. Every morning in under 15 minutes, we cover three major stories with context and analysis from reporters around the world. So you can catch up on lo que está pasando while getting ready, making desayuno, or going to work.
So listen to the Up First podcast from NPR.
Imagine, if you will, a show from NPR that's not like NPR, a show that focuses not on the important but the stupid, which features stories about people smuggling animals in their pants and competent criminals in ridiculous science studies, and call it Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me because the good names were taken. Listen to NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
Yes, that is what it is called, wherever you get your podcasts.
