25 years ago, Diane Rehm made her debut as a daily talk show host at Washington's WAMU. In this hour, we'll hear clips from some of Diane's favorite shows over the years, and find out more about how this local show grew into a nationally-syndicated talk radio pioneer.
Mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves talks about her acclaimed career as an opera singer, and about the challenges she's faced in recent years, including depression, a high-risk pregnancy, and vocal cord surgery. She's now back on stage, recently having appeared in the Washington National Opera's production of "Il Trovatore" -- and she's also the proud mother of a baby girl.
