Folk-rock singer-songwriter and recent Harvard University fellow Erin McKeown returns with a new, politically charged album called Manifestra – she performs some of it live in our studio. Then, she talks with John Schaefer about one of her other big passions: sports.

Plus, we get a glimpse into the life of vaudeville actress and singer Eva Tanguay -- a flamboyant entertainer who was one of the biggest stars of her time. We're joined by the writer Andrew Erdman, whose new book is called Queen of Vaudeville: The Story of Eva Tanguay. And, musicians Bree Benton and Franklin Bruno perform some of Tanguay's hit songs live in our studio.
