From 2016, let's listen back to my interview with Adam Nimoy, who had just released "For the Love of Spock," his documentary about his father Leonard Nimoy. It's a loving but candid look at their difficult but ultimately rewarding relationship. (And be sure to listen to my story about when Leonard Nimoy stayed at my house one cold winter's night.)

For Veteran's Day 2022, we're listening back to three pieces from the Off-Ramp archive. Tamara Keith, now with NPR, talks with California's last surviving World War 1 vet, a spirited 112-year old ... Kevin Ferguson tells us about his grandfather Albert, one of the men who survived the sinking of the USS Indianapolis ... and I take a thrilling ride in a World War Two bomber just like the one in the movie "Unbroken."
