This week, Les chats with actor and singer Claybourne Elder. Claybourne guest-starred in the second season of The CW’s “The Carrie Diaries” and can currently be seen in “The Gilded Age” as John Adams. He’s also a featured artist on the new album Sondheim Unplugged: The NYC Sessions – Volume Three – the final installment of the monumental three-volume set dedicated to Stephen Sondheim. The series always presents Sondheim’s best-loved tunes, in addition to treasures from lesser-heard projects. This third edition features cut songs from Company (“Happily Ever After”) and Assassins (“Flag Song”). Claybourne recently was featured on This American Life, and he talks about that experience and the story that got him featured. It's a fun interview, and we hope you enjoy!
