From Social to Spiritual Media

New show! Hear @tricialockwood.bsky.social: "I'll see halos around things or shadows in words. A lot of times reading, I'll get just the barest beginnings of an aura, of a migraine. And for me, that's where it happens. That's where it really hits."

Not Your Standard Book Chat

"You are manipulating me, which you should not do."

This week, Nobel Prize-winning novelist Orhan Pamuk stops by the show. The result: nothing like your standard book chat.

The Roy Haynes Century

We're thankful for Roy Haynes, the jazz drummer who energized scores of jazz stars: Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan, + many more.

Roy Haynes died recently, 4 months before his 100th birthday. We remember him on this week's show with Robin Kelley:

Joshua Cohen’s Camp


Cohen says, "And it's that 'no' that, to my mind, represents the essential freedom-giving element of my tradition, or at least the tradition as I construe it."

The novelist Joshua Cohen on this week's show:

"I think that there is a strain of Jewishness, let's say, so as not to say the word Judaism, that is deeply diasporic, and it is in some way a product of a negative theology. It is essentially the idea of saying, 'No.' It is the refusal to join."

The Last Last Summer | Joshua Cohen All along the Boardwalk, the sun-bleached, tattered banners read do ac — the city’s latest marketing catchphrase. The Boardwalk was a scrum of such imperatives, with Trumps on every side issuing edict...

Joshua "Pulitzer-winner from Atlantic City" Cohen wrote a classic essay about Atlantic City and Trump for @nplusonemag.bsky.social, and on our latest show, we talk to him about Atlantic City and the ongoing Trump era.

Here's the n+1 essay:
