Barbra Streisand

Listen Later
We start the new year with Barbra Streisand, and listen back to the interview we recorded in November. Throughout her career, her mother would send her bad reviews of her performances.

Later, book critic Maureen Corrigan reviews Prophet Song, the novel that won the 2023 Booker Prize.
