In this week’s Culture Gabfest, our critics Stephen Metcalf, Dana Stevens, and Julia Turner watch the new BBC America series The Hour, a Mad Men for the Anglophile set. Next, they’re joined by attorney Dennis Riordan for a legal briefing on the West Memphis Three. (Riordan represented newly released defendant Damien Echols.) For their final segment, Gabfesters welcome Slate music critic Jody Rosen to discuss the legacy of songwriters Jerry Leiber and Nick Ashford, both of whom died this past week.
