DEVO Pier 17 Concert Preview, New Podcast Investigates U.S. Capitol Attack, "Dear Mr. Brody" Doc, 'Black Atlantic' Art Exhibition, Big Feelings: Perfectionism
New Wave band DEVO will be performing their hits at Pier 17 on May 18. Founding members Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale join us with a preview.
Andrea Bernstein and Ilya Marritz join to talk about their new podcast, Will Be Wild, from Pineapple Media, which investigates the preludes to, and the aftermath of, the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In 1970, 21-year-old millionaire Michael Brody Jr. announced that he would give away his 25-million-dollar fortune to anyone in need. A new documentary, "Dear Mr. Brody," traces Brody's story and the frenzied fallout from his announcement. We speak to the film's director, Keith Maitland.
Black Atlantic is a new exhibition from the Public Art Fund, exploring how the African diaspora and history of transatlantic slave network have influenced cultures around the world, from Europe to the Americas. The show features work from black artists born in Africa, the U.S, and Canada. Curators Hugh Hayden and Daniel S. Palmer join to discuss the exhibition, which is on view until November 27.
Recently, we were joined by Mollie West Duffy and Liz Fosslein, authors of a new book, Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay. We enjoyed the conversation so much, and had so much more to talk about from the book, that we decided to invite Liz and Mollie back for every show this week to take on one big feeling a day, and take your calls as part of our ongoing series, "Taking Care Of You in 2022" and for Mental Health Awareness month. Today, Liz will join us to discuss the dangers of perfectionism.
