episode 4996: Renée Elise Goldsberry On 'Girls5Eva' & 'Hamilton'
The comedy series 'Girls5Eva,' which was just renewed for a second season, follows a 1990s band that reunites after a long stretch of obscurity. Goldsberry was once in a girl group herself. She spoke with Ann Marie Baldonado about women being pitted against each other in showbiz, her show-stopping song "Satisfied" in 'Hamilton,' and what she learned from her time on a soap opera.
Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews Francis Spufford's novel, 'Light Perpetual.'
