Years ago, chef and cookbook author Lee Kalpakis decided to leave her life in New York City behind and move to a camper in the Catskills. Now, she's released a new cookbook based on her experiences in the woods to help others camp, and cook, in style. She joins us to discuss, Out There: A Camper Cookbook, and take calls from listeners.

It’s officially summer travel season. If you’re thinking about planning a trip to sample some local cuisine along the Eastern Seaboard (or beyond) we’ll share some suggestions of where to check out great food with Hunter Lewis, editor in chief of Food and Wine. And we’ll take your calls of your favorite places for your favorite dishes.

Pride Month is only a few days away and NewFest is launching its annual NewFest Pride film festival. The 5-day festival features a series of short films, documentaries, and director Q&As that celebrate the community's enduring legacy. Programming director Nick McCarthy and executive director David Hatkoff join us in studio to give us a preview NewFest, which starts tonight.

Submissions for All of It's Public Song Project are closed. To give a preview of some of the song submissions, and upcoming events, Producer Simon Close joins us in studio. 

William Jackson Harper has received a Tony nomination for his role as Astrov in the classic Chekov play "Uncle Vanya," running now at Lincoln Center. He joins us to discuss.
