[REBROADCAST FROM APRIL 26, 2020] We air highlights from our virtual book club series, “Get Lit with All Of It,” with Nobel Prize Laureate Kazuo Ishiguro. His New York Times bestselling novel, Klara and the Sun, follows the story of an 'Artificial Friend' named Klara. Klara is a highly intelligent AI purchased by a teenager named Josie, whose mother ultimately has unusual plans for Klara's role in the family.

[REBROADCAST FROM APRIL 26, 2020] We air our interview and a performance from the most recent installment of “Get Lit with All Of It” with Grammy winner and MacArthur Genius Rhiannon Giddens. Her latest album, They're Calling Me Home, is a collection of folk songs exploring the ideas of home and mortality.

 On the last day of National Poetry Month, we speak with incumbent United States Poet LaureateJoy Harjo about the anthology, When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry, as well as her latest album, I Pray for My Enemies.

Tommy "Teebs" Pico, a rising queer poet and Kumeyaay Indian joins to discuss Feed, his 2019 book-length poem, about what it means to hunger and to be nourished as a colonized person in America. Feed is the fourth and final book in his "Teebs Cycle," which uses scenes from the poet's life in New York City as gateways into deeper explorations of authenticity, heritage, love and striving. 

WNYC arts and culture editor Jennifer Vanasco gives suggestions for what to do this weekend, while safely social distancing.
