Decades ago, Brazilian women made a discovery.

They could have an abortion without a doctor, thanks to a tiny pill.

That pill spawned a global movement, helping millions of women have safe abortions regardless of the law.

Hear that story on the network from NPR's Embedded and Futuro Media, wherever you get your podcasts.

From W.HYY in Philadelphia, this is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Sam Brigger.

Lucy, I'm home. Playing Ricky Ricardo and I Love Lucy made Desi Arnaz a star.

Behind the scenes, he created what became standard procedures for producing,

shooting, lighting, and broadcasting TV sitcoms. Today, author Todd Purdom talks about his new book,

Desi Arnaz, the man who invented television. Also, we hear from Mark Hamill. He's in the new movie

The Life of Chuck and is known for playing

the iconic hero Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies. When George Luke is cast him for the

first movie, Hamill was unsure what to make of the script, so he turned to his co-star for help.

I said, Harrison, you worked with George on American graffiti. Is this like a parody of flashroom?

Hey, kid, let's just get it done, all right?

So he was no help whatsoever.

Plus, TV critic David B. and Cooley reviews the new HBO documentary, Pee Wee as himself.

That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend.

I'm Tanya Mosley, co-host of Fresh Air.
