Stay close to your radios (or iTunes, or whatever) Monday, because Christopher Walken is going to dazzle your ears with a guest-hosting appearance on The Leonard Lopate Show. The gig stems from an exchange the pair had during a Walken appearance last March; the Oscar-winner has since booked his Broadway co-star Zoe Kazan, stage director Jack O'Brien and Lidia Bastianich -- "a chef and friend from his childhood neighborhood, Astoria, Queens." Love it. The broadcast gets underway Aug. 16 at noon EDT from the studios of WNYC. Happy listening! [NPR]
