Encore: Barbara Streisand joins host Raina Douris

Barbra Streisand has had some notable duet partners over the years. But have you heard her sing with a Muppet? Kermit the Frog makes an appearance on her latest album, Release Me 2, as Streisand delves into her archives to rework some jems. On an encore edition of the World Cafe, she talks about that, as well as the acting trick she once used to fake being in love with a leading man she didn’t particularly care for.
