45: Aaron Sorkin reads Brietbart for inspiration
<div>When Academy Award-winning writer Aaron Sorkin began to craft the characters in his rendition of Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” for the Broadway stage, he honed in on the town’s unemployed villain, Bob Ewell, and gave him real anxieties inspired by today’s right-wing politics.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>“I'll tell you where I went to find Bob Ewell, Breitbart,” Sorkin tells Salon. “A lot of Bob Ewell's dialogue was written by commenters at Breitbart. I'm not joking.”</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Ewell is the victim of poverty, Sorkin explained, and he is able to articulate an anger to Atticus Finch that the other Bob Ewells in the book and movie versions of “To Kill a Mockingbird” didn’t touch on. According to Sorkin, Ewell’s thing is, "You think you're better than me? You look down on me. You think you're better than me?"</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Sorkin also opens up about the long, difficult, and very engaging process of adapting “To Kill a Mockingbird” for the stage, currently on Broadway until September, and how America’s deeply divided politics—including Trump’s presidency, his supporters and liberals, too—all informed and continue to bring new meaning to his version. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>---</div> <div><br> </div> <div>About “Salon Talks”</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Hosted by Salon journalists, “Salon Talks” episodes offer a fresh take on the long-form interview format, and a much-needed break from the partisan political talking heads that have come to dominate the genre. “Salon Talks” is a destination for information through conversation.

44: "The View" alum Sherri Shepherd is done with the drama
<div>In her new Netflix comedy show, “Mr. Iglesias,” Emmy Award winner Sherri Shepherd plays a high school principal whose efficient, professional life runs at odds with her chaotic personal one. “It’s like they took a page from my book,” Shepherd shared. “She’s been married twice, she’s been divorced twice, and she’s looking for love.” </div> <div><br> </div> <div>The brainchild of comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, “Mr. Iglesias” is simultaneously an old school throwback to the classroom comedies of the “Welcome Back, Kotter” era, a socially conscious satire of modern education and a loving tribute to the teacher who changed Iglesias’s life. It’s a goal that resonates for Shepherd, both as a parent and a woman whose own life was changed by her second grade teacher back in Chicago. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>Shepherd also reflects on “The View,” the show she co-hosted from 2007 to 2014, and says it has forever changed talk show TV for women. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>---</div> <div><br> </div> <div>About “Salon Talks”</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Hosted by Salon journalists, “Salon Talks” episodes offer a fresh take on the long-form interview format, and a much-needed break from the partisan political talking heads that have come to dominate the genre. “Salon Talks” is a destination for information through conversation.
