    18/07/2019 Duração: 34min

    Legalized weed in all of America is a sure thing, a virtual done deal — at least according to Kevin Murphy.

Murphy’s got heavyweight support: his team includes a former House Speaker, Senator and Prime Minister. They all think marijuana can help a lot of people's health issues, and the government needs to get out of way. And yes, they stand to make millions when weed gets the green light.

  • Wynton Marsalis

    04/06/2019 Duração: 49min

    Maurice once asked Wynton how he chills.  His answer:  “I’m chilling right now.”   They were actually onstage, in front of an audience!  True to form, this giant of Jazz and American culture never stops working.  He’s produced more than 80 records, won 9 Grammys, a Pulitzer Prize, and has been awarded dozens of honorary doctorates.  Yet he talks like he’s just getting started.  He scored and executive produced the new movie “Bolden,” about the first king of Jazz, and just finished his third symphony.  He sat down long enough to record this interview, just after arriving in town — before rushing off to a gig.

    Ever wonder why they call him “Clyde”?  Or, what’s the story behind his signature Puma sneakers?  Or why he uses all those big words on TV?  Or — why he criticized LeBron James the other day; and by the way, who does he think is the greatest basketball player of all time?   (Hint: it’s not Michael Jordan).  We have all the answers and a lot more in our conversation with this basketball icon.   He takes us along on his incredible journey from the Jim Crow south to the NBA Hall-of-Fame and beyond.

  • George Washington's Broken Heart

    15/02/2019 Duração: 50min

    Did a broken heart motivate George Washington to ditch the Brits and lead the American Revolution?
