Recently on Radio Specials:
David Letterman & Michael Douglas -- Alec talks with late-night legend David Letterman. Letterman admits that for a good portion of the past 30 years he "didn't do anything else." Things have changed now; he has "no patience for meetings" and avoids making decisions on the show, preferring to save that energy to explore the world with his 8-year-old son. Visiting Michael Douglas at his New York apartment, the two dive into what makes a great director a smart producer, and why playing the villain is the much more satisfying part.

David Chang is face to face with the head of the Michelin guide at his famous restaurant, Momofuko Ko. Lisa Lampanelli wants to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle with a visit to a wellness camp, but finds everything about it less than agreeable.
