  • E51: A conversation with Natasha Lance Rogoff | Muppets in Moscow

    Natasha Lance Rogoff is an award-winning TV producer, journalist, and author. As a filmmaker, she executive produced the Russian adaptation of Sesame Street, Ulitsa Sezam, and Plaza Sésamo in Mexico between '93 and '94. As a journalist, she reported extensively on Russia’s underground culture for major media outlets.

    Natasha joined us to discuss her book "Muppets in Moscow: The Unexpected Crazy True Story of Making Sesame Street in Russia". The book recounts the ordeal of bringing this beloved TV show to a post-Cold War Russia, at a time when the country’s political stability was uncertain. A group of TV producers and artists with contrasting backgrounds overcame political, social, and economic barriers to produce a show that became a staple of Russian children's television in the late nineties. Known for its fight against prejudice and its promotion of tolerance, democracy, and freedom of expression, the show made a significant impact.

    But this is also a book about the powerful nature of art, a testament to perseverance, and a narrative about seizing opportunities against all odds. It's even a story about finding friendship and love in the most unlikely circumstances. A fascinating story we hope you all enjoy.

  • E49: Emerging Global Cities
    We had an amazing opportunity to speak with Professors Alejandro Portes y Ariel C. Armony and discuss their book "Emerging Global Cities: Origin, Structure, and Significance." A groundbreaking book that explores the rapid and unexpected rise of certain urban places, reshaping global urban studies. The book identifies a myriad of factors that allow certain cities to become centers of commerce, finance, art, and culture for entire regions. Throughout the book, the authors trace the transformations of Dubai, Miami, and Singapore, highlighting key features that are common to these emerging global cities. Additionally, they contrast these cities with "global hopefuls," which are cities that aspired to attain similar status but faced challenges that prevented them from achieving it. The book concludes with an analysis of Hong Kong, which is currently facing the risk of losing its global status. We hope you enjoy this conversation, and as always, thank you for watching and listening. About the authors: Professor Armory leads the University of Pittsburgh's global engagement and strategy as the Vice Chancellor for Global Affairs, and has written extensively on democracy, civil society, and China's relations with Latin America.
