It’s the interview you’ve all been waiting for. Well, we’ve been waiting to do it, so maybe you’re as excited as we are.

Austin celebrity Matthew McConaughey has a new memoir out, “Greenlights.” He’ll appear during the virtual Texas Book Festival on Saturday to talk about it with fellow actor Ethan Hawke.
