July 28-29, 2007

HOUR ONE:

• Bob talks to actor and film maker Steve Buscemi about some of his most notable roles and his working-class upbringing, including a stint as a New York City firefighter . Buscemi’s latest film is titled “Interview” -- a remake that he rewrote, directed and stars in.

• Bob talks to John Linnell and John Flansburgh from the band They Might Be Giants . The two friends have been making “quirky” music for children and adults for the past two decades. Their latest album is called "The Else.”

HOUR TWO:

• This weekend -- Cal Ripken, Jr. and Tony Gwynn become the newest members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. To mark the occasion, we travel to the mythical birthplace of America’s pastime to talk with president Dale Petroskey (peh-TRAW-skee) about the Hall’s mission, its history and its future. Next, we follow the path of a record-breaking ball as it becomes an honored artifact in the museum’s collection. Then Ted Spencer , the Baseball Hall of Fame’s chief curator, leads Bob on a behind-the-scenes tour of the museum.
