Coming up on this week’s edition of Radio Times in Review: we’ll talk about Einstein and the cosmos with theoretical physicist, BRIAN GREENE. Just last month one of Albert Einstein’s theories was proven correct, one relating that relates to gravity waves and the possibility of time travel. Greene provided a good primer on the field of theoretical physics when he joined us in 2004. We’ll also listen back to Marty’s conversation with author and pro-choice advocate KATHA POLLITT, who joined us late last year to discuss her book Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights. The Supreme Court just heard arguments regarding abortion rights earlier this week. Lastly, we’ll hear Marty’s interview with actor WENDELL PIERCE. The star of shows “The Wire” and “Treme” has taken on the role of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in the upcoming HBO film, Confirmation.
