What's On The Show
Friday:
- Latinae music is dominating the globe, but its origin story . The new podcast "Our Thing: The Birth of Salsa in Nueva York" unpacks the history of salsa, from a scrappy label founded in New York City to the artists like Bad Bunny dominating music today. The series' host Rosie Perez and senior producer Jeanne Montalvo discuss the podcast, and the story of salsa.
- Every New York block is its own ecosystem, with different neighbors, restaurants, and unique characteristics. Matt Green spent years walking every block in the city, more than 8,000 miles on foot. His effort was the subject of the documentary, ‘The World Before Your Feet.’ Green discusses what makes New York blocks special, and listeners share more about their specific block of the city, and who the "mayor" of their block is.
- The film-to-musical Broadway adaptation "The Lost Boys" earned 12 Tony nominations, tying it with "Schmigadoon" for the most-nominated show this year. Actors Ali Louis Bourszgui and LJ Benet discuss their respective roles as the head of a vampire gang, and the wayward teen they seek to bring into the fold. Then director Michael Arden and scenic designer Dane Laffrey – longtime collaborators – talk about building the production and its spectacular set.
