This Sunday, Matthew D’Abate and Douglas Kennedy discuss their city of
choice, New York. Kennedy, a Manhattan kid by birth, and D’Abate, a

permanently altered the face of NYC.

July 14, 2019 S. 2 EP. 15 "LIFE IS THE ONLY FARCE YOU'LL EVER HAVE..."
This week, we’re delving deeper into Kennedy’s next project “Isabelle In
the Afternoon” set for a French and English release in early 2020. Sitting
down with Kennedy in his home in the center of Manhattan, we discuss some
of the more relevant literary themes in this new torrid love story, which I
had the pleasure to read in full just recently. He contemplates how short
life is, and how the worries and concerns of our quotidian existence pale
in comparison to how quickly it can all disappear.

July 07, 2019 S. 2 EP. 14 THE CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS
This week, we’re discussing a piece of extraordinary theater Douglas
Kennedy and I had recently viewed, Sam Shepard’s American classic “The
Curse of The Starving Class”. Not only is the “Starving Class” one of
Shepard’s fantastic additions to his ‘family’ trilogy – it was directed
this spring by the brilliant Terry Kinney, and like some artistic kismet,
was performed at the fantastic Signature Theater in Manhattan. I sat down
with Kennedy to discuss this deliriously genius piece of modern theater.

June 30, 2019 S. 2 EP. 13 THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH
This week we’re discussing our divided times, both culturally and
politically. I decided to approach the issue head on, and ask Kennedy,
always the purveyor of free speech and the pursuit of rational thinking,
just what he thought about certain controversial figures being banned from
social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

June 10, 2019 S. 2 EP. 10 "KISS ME DEADLY"
This week we’re discussing that infamous classic film from the post-World
War II period: “Kiss Me Deadly”. Released in the theaters in 1955, and
adapted from the novel released in 1952, both the cinematic piece and its
inspired counterpart represent a time of nuclear paranoia and ‘tough guy’
machismo, sometimes jarring to our modern ears.

April 06, 2019 S. 2 EP. 9 MUSIC WE LIVE BY
I sat down with Douglas Kennedy in one of the most poetic cities in the
history of music, Paris, France, to discuss the current state of classical
music. In a world full of candy pop beats and auto-tuned charlatans, the
aural intoxication of classical music remains the pinnacle of what the
human ear can experience. Douglas Kennedy explains:

Kennedy finds himself paired with France’s preeminent illustrator, Joann
Sfar.
