Nashville singer-songwriter Margo Price sold her car and pawned her wedding ring to pay for the studio time to make her first album, ‘Midwest Farmer’s Daughter.’ The album was a success.

Price is up for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Also, we remember character actor Dick Miller, who died this week at 90. “You don’t have to be a leading man” to make it in Hollywood, he told Terry Gross in 1990. He appeared in more than 100 films, including ‘Gremlins’ and ‘The Little Shop of Horrors.’

TV critic David Bianculli reviews ‘The ABC Murders,’ an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel about iconic detective Hercule Poirot. In this iteration, Poirot is played by John Malkovich.
