It’s impossible to typecast him: from performing Macbeth to Miley Cyrus. To starring on network television by way of The Good Wife, populating public Television as the host of our own Masterpiece Mystery.

At age 59 Alan Cumming is a font of wisdom when it comes to America’s obsession with the fountain of youth—breaking down how abstract and absurd ageism is in his cabaret show, “Alan Cumming is Not Acting His Age”. He joins us to talk about it all.
From there, Culture Show contributor Lisa Simmons joins us to discuss the night James Brown saved Boston.
