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."

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."

It seems Book Detective had "just one more thing."
