‘Jury Duty’ star James Marden / Remembering Roy Book Binder

This episode of Fresh Air features two segments: an interview with James Marsden about his role in "Jury Duty" and other projects, and a remembrance of blues musician Roy Book Binder, including excerpts from a 1987 interview. Marsden discusses the unique premise of "Jury Duty," where he plays a satirical version of himself in a fake trial, emphasizing the importance of kindness towards the unwitting participant, Ronald Gladden. He also reflects on being typecast in romantic roles. The segment on Roy Book Binder explores his career, his relationships with blues legends like Pink Anderson and Reverend Gary Davis, and includes several of his musical performances.
