[r] Rick Moranis was a movie star. Strange Brew; Ghostbusters; Spaceballs; Honey, I Shrunk the Kids… and then, he quit. Find out why he doesn’t regret leaving show business to raise his children. Then later, Jesse talks to Mary Roach. Her book ‘Gulp’ takes readers on a tour of the human digestive system. Glenn Weldon and Linda Holmes from NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour will talk about a couple of surprising takes on classic character archetypes. Then, the Bay Area singer-songwriter Thao Nguyen will talk about the Smokey Robinson song that made her want to crawl into the stereo speaker and stay there forever. And Spring is in the air. Warmer weather is nice and all, but Jesse’s more excited about Opening Day.
