All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 24, 2021

Mona Zhang, the states cannabis policy reporter for POLITICO Pro, joins us to discuss the impact of marijuana legalization on communities of color.

NFTs are the latest blockchain fascination that everyone seems to be talking about and few seem to understand. Erin Griffith, a New York Times journalist who covers technology start-ups and venture capital, explains what they are and how they’ve become so popular.

Oscar-winning directors Dan Lindsay and T.J. Martin join us to discuss their newest documentary titled, “Tina.” The film looks at the life and career of Tina Turner, and includes interviews with her and those close to her as well as rare archival footage spanning 60 years. It premieres on March 27 on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

Singer-songwriter Bahamas, also known as Afie Jurvanen, joins us for a “Listening Party” of his fifth album, Sad Hunk.

This episode is guest-hosted by Matt Katz.
