• Sophia McLennen, author of the books Colbert's America and Is Satire Saving Our Nation?, looks at the legacy of the character Stephen Colbert. The comedian is retiring his right-wing blow hard persona this week to become a more earnest talk show host for CBS.

• FRIDAY LIVE: This week's Friday Live guest is the talented musician/wordsmith/broadcaster Rich Terfry aka. Buck 65. He performs from his latest record Neverlove and we speak to him about an album that he calls his "divorce record" where he brings the listener through the most painful year of his life. It's raw, honest and painful, but a rewarding listen.
