From the WHYY in Philadelphia, I'm Terry Gross with Fresh Air Weekend.

Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad, has only three episodes left.

Today, we talk with the show's star Bob Odin Kirk,

who also hear from Peter Gould, the writer who created the character Saul on Breaking Bad,

and went on to co-create Better Call Saul.

While filming one scene, Odin Kirk had a near fatal heart attack.

They'll tell us about returning to life and to that scene.

Also, we talk with Corey Silverberg, author of Books for Kids about Gender, Sex, and Where Babies Come From.

Silverberg is a sex educator who was raised by a children's librarian and a sex therapist, and identifies as queer.

And our book critic, Marie-Karigan, talks about figuring out what to read when you're stuck in an airport or plane.

There's only three episodes left of Better Call Saul, a series that has a lot of fans on the Fresh Air team,

and a series our TV critic David Biancouli said could end up as the best dramatic TV series ever made.

Better Call Saul is the prequel to Breaking Bad.

Saul Goodman, as we know him, would not exist without my two guests.

Bob Odin Kirk played Saul in Breaking Bad, and stars in Better Call Saul.

Peter Gould created the character Saul when Gould was a writer on Breaking Bad.

After that series ended, Gould co-created Better Call Saul and his now the showrunner.

Better Call Saul is nominated for Emmys as Best Drama Series and Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series,

Bob Odin Kirk is nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series.

Odin Kirk also has a memoir called Comedy Comedy Drama.

In Breaking Bad, Saul was a lawyer who worked on two levels.

He was a slip and fall, I'll sue anyone kind of lawyer, working out of an ostentatious office in Albuquerque.
