E. ETHELBERT MILLER is a poet, though "literary activist" is the term he uses to describe himself. He's also a baseball fan, and nearing 60 years of age, figures he's in "The 5th Inning.". That's the title of his second memoir in which he uses baseball as a metaphor for measuring his life so far.
Mike Tyson was once boxing's biggest star. He was dominant in the ring, but the same inner demons that propelled Tyson's ferocity eventually led to his downfall. After serving time in prison and falling into bankruptcy, Mike Tyson tells his own story in the new documentary, "Tyson." Bob speaks with director JAMES TOBACK about his film and his friendship with the boxer.
One simple question sent journalist and running enthusiast CHRISTOPHER MCDOUGALL across the globe: Why does my foot hurt? In his quest, McDougall ran endurance races across America, visited science labs at Harvard, and spent time with a tribe in Mexico's Copper Canyons, whose speed and health could match any Olympic marathoner. McDougall's book is titled "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen."
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.
