CHRISTOPHER GUEST is known for his "mockumentary" films, including "A Mighty Wind," which poked fun at folk music -- something Guest knows a lot about. Guest plays the mandolin, mandocello, clarinet and guitar. And Guest's band, the Beyman Brothers, has released its first album. Guest and childhood friend DAVID NICHTERN talk about the release, "Memories of Summer as a Child."
Then, DAVID HARRISON studies languages that are dying. He travels to the most remote parts of the world to find and interview the last known speakers of threatened languages. His quest is told in a documentary called "The Linguists." Bob is joined in the studio by Harrison, and by two of the film's three directors, JEREMY NEWBERGER and SETH KRAMER. They explain why documenting dying languages is important.
Finally, JEFF CAMPBELL runs a non-profit organization called Hungry for Music. It provides musical instruments to disadvantaged children across the country, and it's funded with proceeds from the CDs of baseball music he produces. Campbell has two discs out now in the series he calls "Diamond Cuts."
Bob Edwards Weekend is a two-hour interview showcase, in which celebrated host Bob Edwards highlights the life and work of interesting people, from newsmakers, historians, and authors to artists, actors, and regular folks too.
