Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, as well as new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and it often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Bill Burr: 'I am a mess of a human being ... but it makes for good comedy': Burr is known for his contrarian, fiery stand-up, but lately he's been feeling lighter on stage. His latest Hulu comedy special is Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years.
'Last Breath' tells the terrifying story of a deep-sea diver trapped underwater: In 2012, three deep-sea divers were on a routine operation in the North Sea when one of them became trapped underwater. Liu had to dive in deep, dark water in order to recreate the harrowing rescue.
