Actor Cherise Boothe and director Lileana Blain-Cruz join us to discuss the play, “Fabulation, or The Re-Education of Undine.” This satirical tale, set in New York City, follows successful African-American publicist Undine, as she stumbles down the social ladder after her husband steals her hard-earned fortune.
 
For years, the Port Authority put up decorations around the holiday season, but this year, instead of bringing joy to people’s hearts, many commuters felt that the decorations were misplaced. One man, Cory Windelspecht, (23:40) created a petition on change.org, “Move the Christmas Tree on the Holland Tunnel from the N to cover the A.” Windelspecht and Gothamist reporter, Ben Yakas, join us for this installment of our "Petition Series" to discuss how this petition prompted the Port Authority to change its decorations this year.
 
WNYC’s business and culture editor, Charlie Herman, (43:17) joins us for this week’s installment of “Charlie for the Culture.”

'Fabulation,' Port Authority Decoration Debacle, 'Charlie for the Culture'

ALL OF IT is a show about culture and its consumers.

ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context.

ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture.


Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great.


ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London:


"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things."


...In other words, ALL OF IT.
