Sights + Sounds: Adam Nimoy's memoir 'The Most Human'

This year marks the 60th anniversary of “Star Trek.” Filmmaker and actor Adam Nimoy not only watched the show, but he went on set when he was a kid. That’s because his father, Leonard Nimoy, played Spock. The half-human, half-alien science officer came from a culture that put logic above emotion. Leonard Nimoy once said he was so immersed in the character that sometimes he couldn’t turn it off at home. This led to friction in Mr. Nimoy’s and his son Adam’s relationship. Adam Nimoy reflects on this in his new memoir, “The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy.” He spoke with KALW’s Jenee Darden on “The Sights + Sounds Show.” Here’s an excerpt from their conversation.

Music Notes from the Edge of America's 250th: Julian Brave NoiseCat

We’re approaching the Fourth of July weekend. A time when people are reflecting on what it means to be American. And with that reflection comes a complicated mix of emotions. Some celebrate the 4th of July, some protest it, other people are just indifferent. Whatever your feelings are, one thing is for sure: we’ll be hearing a LOT of the national anthem in the coming days. Especially as the country marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. So - how do you relate to the Star Spangled Banner? Well that’s a question Jeff Chang asked on his new KALW show, Notes From The Edge. His show explores the possibilities and perils of America as our country moves through increasingly uncertain times. In one episode, Jeff invited musicians to reimagine America's Anthem. In this clip, we’ll hear from Julian Brave NoiseCat, the Oscar-winning director of the documentary Sugar Cane, and the author of the memoir “We Survived the Night.”
