Tom Hanks & Remixing Spring Winners
This week, Kurt Andersen talks with Tom Hanks, who loves to cut dialogue from his scripts — he’d be a silent movie star if he could. A legal reporter explains why the copyright law needs a digital overhaul. We meet Raul and Mexia, sons of a legendary norteo musician, who have come out of the shadow of their father’s accordion. And we call the winner of our Remixing Spring Challenge.
