Comedy legend Roseanne Barr joins The HighWire in studio for its milestone 500th episode to discuss her fight for free speech, the growing culture of censorship, and the personal price of refusing to be silenced. Then, actress Drea de Matteo joins the conversation for a look at Meemaw, her latest series with Roseanne. Centered on a family of Texas preppers, the boundary-pushing comedy is being hailed by some as Roseanne’s magnum opus.
