We just checked in with Pico Iyer again, but this time about his surprise role in Marty Supreme! Listen to the conversation wherever you go for podcasts AND leave us a note about it over at this little Reddit post we made: www.reddit.com/r/OpenSource...

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." radioopensource.org/from-social-...

This week on Open Source: a civics lesson from Senator Angus King, during what King calls "the most direct assault on the Constitution in our history." radioopensource.org/angus-kings-...

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: radioopensource.org/the-roy-hayn...

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."

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: www.nplusonemag.com/issue-27/ess...

Well worth listening to!
