Our esteemed film critic Bob Mondello joins the podcast this week for our weekly roundup for the very best arts stories on NPR.
We've got a look at the new dolphin doc, The Cove — you can hear Bob explain why he picked this film to champion — and a charming interview with musician Imogen Heap, who explains how Twitter helped inspire her new album.
A piece lifted from the science desk features music composed for monkeys, and we consider whether the word "retarded" should be retired. Finally, a look at the Los Angeles comedy scene of the 1970s and a kids' book about reality shows of the future devolved to a hideously violent extreme.
As always, you can subscribe to the podcast here, or listen to it right where you're sitting.
