World Cafe Playlist for 12/31/2019

Encore: Lizzo (HR 1), Robbie Robertson (HR 2)

It’s World Cafe’s final look back at the best interviews of the year today…And Lizzo had a pretty remarkable 2019. We’ll hear her live performance of songs from Cuz I Love You, and she talks about self-love, writing her hit “Juice,” and collaborating with Prince. Then in the second hour, Robbie Robertson tells stories about scoring Martin Scorcese’s new film, The Irishman, forming the group that would become The Band, and getting booed every night while backing Bob Dylan on his first electric tour.
