Your weekly serving of culture-love from NPR includes an interview with Aziz Ansari, whose portrayal of a hilariously sleazy public servant in the new NBC comedy Parks and Recreation is one of the cool highlights of this fall TV season.
Another man we love, Forest Whitaker, talks about his decision to produce a five-part HBO documentary about Newark's city government. (Brick City focuses on its magnetic young mayor, Cory Booker, who could probably make that fictional parks department run more efficiently.)
We've also got immigrant TV talk show host Craig Ferguson chatting about his decision to become an American, and we'll learn how author Orson Scott Card really feels about the transformation of two of his science fiction classics into graphic novels.
Actor Juliette Binoche explains a few of her other gentle talents — like dancing, painting and drawing — and author James Ellroy shares his thoughts on rhythm. Finally, film critic Kenneth Turan questions the use value of Michael Moore's new movie, Capitalism: A Love Story.
