Edition #122: Glen Hansard, Once
Hosted by Stephen Schaefer
Originally aired 6/18/07
Glen Hansard, the bearded redheaded singer-songwriter who resembles a young Paul McCartney, takes center stage in the elegantly simple Once, a Dublin-set love story set mostly to his music. This organic musical has a street singer (or "busker" as Hansard describes it in our interview) meet and romance a lovely Czech émigré; (Marketa Irglova). Hansard won the role when his songs for the film proved too intimidating for Cillian Murphy.
