The Leonard Lopate Show

The Leonard Lopate Show, hosted by Leonard Lopate for over three decades, featured conversations that New Yorkers turned to each afternoon for insight into a wide variety of topics; including heavy-hitting writers, actors, ex-presidents, political figures, economists, scientists, comedians, dancers, chefs, historians, filmmakers and do-it-yourself experts. Tune into Midday on WNYC, our new program, from 12-2pm every weekday, right here.

Produced by WNYC.
