In this episode of Pop Culture Weekly, join Kyle McMahon for an unforgettable experience at the rehearsals for the National Memorial Day Concert 2024, straight from the heart of our nation's capital. Listen in as Kyle has the distinct privilege of speaking with the venerable Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise, who open up about their enduring devotion to this poignant even. Their reflections on the solemnity of Memorial Day and its true meaning as a day of remembrance for those who've made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, rather than just the onset of summer, are both moving and powerful.


Further enriching this special episode is the talented BD Wong, who joins to celebrate his dynamic career, from the 'Jurassic Park' franchise to his recent theatrical ventures, and shares his insights on the significance of the Memorial Day tribute.  Tony Award winner Ruthie Ann Miller discusses the history of 'Aloha 'Oe' and it's special connection in honoring the men and women we've lost. And Bryan Cranston discusses growing up in a military family, what Memorial Day is really about and much more.

This episode promises a mix of heartfelt reverence and exciting peeks into the lives and projects of beloved personalities. Don't miss out on the full conversations, which also offers vital resources for military and veterans in crisis, and learn how you can show support through volunteering, all while marking your calendar for the concert's broadcast on PBS and streaming platforms, Sunday May 26, 2024 at 8pm EST on PBS.
