About this listen

 Critic at large John Powers, rock critic Ken Tucker, and TV critic David Bianculli, on this edition of Fresh Air. John Powers talks with Terry about the events that defined American culture this year. Highlights include the Borat movie, Stephen Colbert's speech at the White House correspondent's Dinner, George Allen's use of the racial slur macaca during the 2006 US senate election in Virginia, and the rise of YouTube.com as a mechanism for rapid dissemination of information. John Powers is also a critic for Vogue magazine. Then, rock critic Ken Tucker presents the tops in pops. He does not have a ten best list this year, but instead gives us a quick overview of the music industry along with his picks for some of the year's best tunes, including work from Gnarls Barkley, Nellie McKay, My Chemical Romance, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. Finally, TV critic David Bianculli has suggestions for last-minute holiday gifts: boxed DVD sets of classic and recent TV shows, including The West Wing, Homicide, Six Feet Under, MASH, St. Elsewhere, the first season of Saturday Night Live and Get Smart.
