All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 14, 2021

16-time Grammy winner Dave Grohl, front-man of Foo Fighters, talks about his tenure as Nirvana's drummer, and healing after the death of his friend and musical collaborator Kurt Cobain. His new memoir is titled, The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music.

Comedian Neal Brennan, one of the co-creators of “The Chapelle Show,” joins us to discuss his latest show, which weaves together standup and storytelling and is directed by acclaimed magician Derek DelGaudio. “Neal Brennan: Unacceptable” runs at the Cherry Lane Theater through November 21.

Chef, lawyer, and recent TikTok star, Joanne Lee Molinaro, also known as The Korean Vegan, joins us to discuss her debut cookbook, The Korean Vegan Cookbook. The book explores the emotional role food plays in our lives, and looks to Lee Molinaro's Korean family and upbringing, as well as incorporating the storytelling and photography she has become known for on social media.

Canadian-Colombian singer-songwriter Lido Pimienta has had quite the year. Her 2020 album, Miss Colombia, earned a Latin Grammy Nomination, her first, as well as her first ever Grammy nomination at this year's awards, for Best Latin Rock, Urban, or Alternative Album. More recently, Pimienta became the first female composer of color to create a piece for New York City Ballet, scoring for choreographer Andrea Miller's new work, "sky to hold." She performed her commissioned score, which also marks her first theatrical work, live onstage. Pimienta joins us to discuss, and listen to, her work and achievements from the last year, and preview her upcoming tour.
