Sasha Baron Cohen on Fresh Air
I caught a bit of this excellent interview with Sasha Baron Cohen on NPR’s Fresh Air a week or two ago and I thought I’d post an MP3 of the entire show. I’m rooting for Mr. Cohen tonight at the Golden Globes, where the BORAT film is up for several awards, and in my opinion is more than deserves to win.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: The Movie
Cartoon Network’s animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force will be the first original show of the channel’s late-night Adult Swim programming block to be turned into a feature film, Variety reported. The 86-minute film was written, produced and directed by co-creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis.
The film centers on the origins of Hunger Force characters Meatwad, Frylock and Master Shake and an immortal piece of exercise equipment threatening the balance of galactic peace, the trade paper reported. “It was too big a story to do in 11 minutes,” Willis told Variety. “It’s based on our fear of exercise equipment.”
Maiellaro and Willis will be voicing several parts each, and several members of the TV cast will be reprising their roles. The film also features cameo voices provided by Bruce Campbell and Neil Peart of the band Rush. It is set for a March release date in 800 theaters.
