Fresh Air Weekend is a program that brings together the best interviews and reviews from previous weeks, along with new program elements specially curated for weekends. The weekend show places a strong emphasis on interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often features excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week’s lineup includes St. Vincent discussing her album All Born Screaming, where she explores themes of life, death, and love with tension, release, and sonic “jump scares.” The artist emphasizes that the album is a reflection of real life experiences and emotions.
In addition to the music interview, Child psychiatrist Harold Koplewicz sheds light on the mental health challenges facing today’s young people in his book Scaffold Parenting. He discusses why children are experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression, and offers insights for parents on how to support their children’s mental well-being.
Fresh Air Weekend is devoted to bringing listeners engaging and thought-provoking conversations with a diverse range of guests. To listen to the original interviews and reviews with St. Vincent and Harold Koplewicz, visit Fresh Air online.
