All Of It with Alison Stewart

Lloyd Cole's career began with the Commotions and over the last four decades has traversed the worlds of rock, pop, and ambient and electronic music--places from which Cole draws for his latest album, On Pain. Cole joins us to discuss the album and perform a live acoustic set in our studio.

A new buddy-comedy stars Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass as two men who believe they are the last two humans left on earth, and must find a way to survive... and maybe continue the human race.

As many of us skip town for the summer, we may be leaving behind our pets. We talk about the basics of pet-sitting with Rachel Bowers, the CEO of Brooklyn Bark, a pet care company. We'll ask Rachel the basics of how to care of our dogs, cats, (even lizards and snakes) while they're away - whether you're leaving your pet behind, or taking care of someone's loved animal. Plus, we take calls form listeners.

If you aren't in therapy, you are probably still using its language to describe how you feel. This week the New Yorker has issued a special digital edition devoted to examining therapy as a fundamental feature of modern life -- and how it's permeated our culture, for better or worse. It was co-edited by Marella Gayla, and she joins us to discuss alongside Matt Lundquist, founder and clinical director of Tribeca Therapy.

Moran is a jazz pianist and curator of the Center's new exhibition, Here to Stay.

British comedian Liz Kingsman's hit show "One Woman Show" has come across the pond.

An event next week brings together the work of Edward Hopper and his love for cycling.
