Call Back Yesterday

On October 29, 1966, Bobby Kennedy came to Michigan to stump for the Democrats. With the help of an RFK scholar, we listen back to that speech, made at the University of Detroit Memorial Building. Bobby is smart, moving, funny, and prescient. It's a time capsule, to be sure, but surprisingly relevant. I mean, are you surprised that Bobby would say that the GOP talks big but doesn't deliver?

John Rabe talks with "Somewhere in Time" director Jeannot Scwarc about working with the late Christopher Plummer, who tried to foil Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve's on-screen romance. Plummer died Friday, February 5, at the age of 91. 

I talk with Stephen Simon, producer of Somewhere In Time, What Dreams May Come, and All The Right Moves. He was at the crossroads of Old and New Hollywood, and might also be living on the border of the seen and unseen. His new book is What Dreams Have Come: Loving Through the Veil.

Fresh Air and LA Times film critic Justin Chang was in the hallway of KPCC, where I work, and I told him about this podcast I was doing. "Do you like 'Somewhere in Time?'" I asked, expecting a snort. No snort! Find out why in our al fresco interview.
