Hi Strong Reception fans! I’m back and I’m trying something different here - a very short-form solo episode under the heading “The Song Diary”. Since moving to London, I’ve had an urge to create quickly digestible episodes where I choose a song that’s speaking to me at the moment because of what’s going on in my life and in my head. I hope you enjo…

Why Questlove's "Summer of Soul" Is Not Just Another Music Doc 44:31

3y ago44:31

44:31

"Summer of Soul" is a groundbreaking documentary that I want everyone on Planet Earth to see. Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson (founding member of The Roots and professional musical encyclopedia) made his directorial debut on a subject close to my heart: the all-but-forgotten Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969. This series of six Sunday concerts in New Yor…

40:10

L. Joy Williams doesn't rest much. Running on four hours' sleep each night, she dons an array of hats during the day, moving at a breakneck pace to empower more Americans to engage with the political process. I'm grateful she made time to drop by "Strong Reception" to talk with me about increasing voting access in New York, as well as to provide he…

Welcome to the first-ever bonus episode of Strong Reception! I couldn't resist putting out this short "extra track."

As 2020 draws to a close, I am joined by Boston Globe columnist Renée Graham to discuss some of the music legends we lost this year.

1:00:12

In this music history episode of "Strong Reception," I am joined by two special guests as we dive into the rich history of the song "Just a Gigolo" and its unlikely sibling tune, "I Ain't Got Nobody."

Understanding Your Judge Ballot this Election, in a Place Where Voting is Far From Just 33:16

4y ago33:16

33:16

If you're like me, you have judges on your ballot this November — in addition to that whole "electing a president who might not want more people to die" thing. Also if you're like me, you hate having to vote for judges you know nothing about, who don't run campaigns, who are nominated by party insiders, and are sometimes running on three or four pa…

How to Vote in NYC, and How Lawmakers Can Stop New York's Board of Elections From Being Such a Gaffe Factory 34:34

4y ago34:34

34:34

On September 29, 100,000 New Yorkers (myself among them) received misprinted absentee ballots that had someone else's name on the return envelopes. The gaffe was the result of a multimillion-dollar error from a third-party vendor (way to go, Phoenix Graphics), but it's still not a great look for the New York City Board of Elections, which has a his…

48:22

Fugees. Flack. Lieberman? The wonderfully talented yet woefully unheralded singer-songwriter Lori Lieberman explains how she conceived, co-wrote and was the first to record the '70s (and '90s) classic "Killing Me Softly With His Song" — without ever getting a songwriting credit, and while under the thumb of a domineering management team that tried …
