Green, Kudrow, Stew
This week in Studio 360, pop go the pundits. “Auto-Tune the News” transforms wonky political speech and news anchor chatter into infectious pop music; the secret’s in the software. Novelist George Dawes Green returns after a 14-year silence with his thriller Ravens. “Friends” alum Lisa Kudrow discovers life after Phoebe. And Stew, the creator of the musical “Passing Strange,” tells Kurt about his teenaged escape from L.A. for bohemian Berlin.
