Another Round

This week, we invite writers Doreen St. Felix and Durga Chew-Bose to join us for a playful and pensive round of PewPewPew with Friends! We talk about Doreen’s New York Magazine cover story on Kara Walker (read it if you haven’t already!), and Durga’s new book, Too Much and Not the Mood (it's exquisite).  We study Heben’s perfect laugh, celebrate porch life, and figure out why white girls in the 90s all wanted to be marine biologists.  Plus we might even learn you a Gmail hack that will change your life…! 

ALSO: get tickets to see our podsiblings from BuzzFeed News and See Something Say Something at the Northside Festival!!  Tickets here: northsidereport2017.eventbrite.com

And don't forget: our next live show is in Chicago - June 21st at 8pm at Thalia Hall.  Get your tickets at wbez.org/events.

This week we chat with Marcus Samuelsson - Top Chef, Red Rooster restauranteur, and maker of the world's finest mac & cheese (we've tried it...it's reallll good).  He dishes about Ikea meatballs, the flavors of Harlem, and answers Heben's hard-hitting question: is aioli really just gentrified mayo?  Plus, Tracy brings us a What Had Happened Was from her days as a college activist/troll for justice.  And rounds for furniture and just one thing - you know the one...not that one...thaaaat one.  You should probably listen to find out what the hell we're talking about. And we'd love to see you at our next live show in Chicago on June 21st at Thalia Hall!

This week, we're bringing you a vintage episode with our very talented in-house musician, Jean Grae.  She chats with us about being a woman of many hats and why she can't get behind the term "femcee."  Then we try some dating apps - not at all because our love lives could use a lil boost, but instead strictly for, you know, podcast research.  Really.  You believe us, right?

This week, we're trying something a little different: we team up with our friends at WNYC's Only Human podcast to find Tracy's roots. Growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, she always heard that her ancestors were, in her mother's words, "black, white and American Indian." But, like many black Americans, she's found it hard to trace her family heritage with ancestors forced into the American slave trade. So Tracy turns to DNA ancestry tests, and experts on DNA and race, to find out where she comes from.
