Episode description as stored
The fifth and final season of the HBO comedy series ‘Hacks’ is nominated for 24 Emmys, including one for Smart as best actress in a comedy series. The writers “raised the bar every single season," Smart tells guest interviewer Aarti Shahani. They talk about why the show is ending, Smart’s distant relative who narrowly escaped the Salem Witch Trials, and adopting a baby when she was in her 50s.  Also, book critic Maureen Corrigan reviews the novel ‘Country People,’ by Daniel Mason.  Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter   Follow us on Instagram   Subscribe to our YouTube channel   Check out the Fresh Air Archives See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.
