Bill Persky: Still Funny After All These Years, Part 2 21:25

9h ago21:25

21:25

By 1963, Bill Persky had already worked as a lifeguard at Grossinger’s in the Catskill Mountains and watched the hotel’s standup comics make people laugh. He’d written a show at Syracuse University that won a national collegiate award. He’d worked at an advertising agency and radio station in New York before moving to California to write for televi…

7d ago30:05

30:05

What is it like to create something early in your life and then watch as that creation has a tangible effect on people decades later? Musicians know the feeling. Actors and writers too. It’s a feeling Bill Persky knows well. He and his writing partner Sam Denoff wrote many of the classic episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show, a 1960’s show that is tim…

Stephane Matteau: Lessons Beyond The Goal 34:08

14d ago34:08

34:08

It seems easy for former professional athletes to live in the past. They practiced their whole lives to play the game and now it’s gone. Fans are constantly reminding them of games long ago, occasionally waiting on long lines for a picture and an autograph at a card show. New York Rangers fans often remind Stephane Matteau of his Game 7 overtime go…

Talib Kweli: Hip Hop Academic 36:49

21d ago36:49

36:49

Jay Z once memorably rapped “if skills sold, truth be told, I’d probably be lyrically, Talib Kweli.” Many are the influences that have shaped Talib Kweli’s words and music for decades: the Brooklyn of his youth, the ubiquitous books and records in that Brooklyn home, the academic careers of his parents as professors and administrators. He once told…

28d ago41:28

41:28

Adriana Trigiani has had a long love affair with the written word. And she’s pretty comfortable with the spoken word too. She has quite a story to tell as a novelist/TV writer/film director/podcast host whose journey brought her from a small mining town in Virginia to New York.

37:05

Stan Fischler has been in the hockey world for 70 years, primarily as a writer and broadcaster.

Maurice Ashley: Lessons Beyond The Board 27:17

2M ago27:17

27:17

I first met Maurice Ashley in New York in 1994. He was announcing a chess tournament with all of the fervor and excitement of Marv Albert and John Madden. 30 years later, his passion for the sport is the same, perhaps greater. He’s an historic figure in chess as the first African American grandmaster. But that’s only a small part of Maurice’s story…

Steve Hindy: From Foreign Correspondent To Brooklyn Brewer 35:13

2M ago35:13

35:13

It was the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald who famously wrote “there are no second acts in America.” Scott, meet Steve Hindy. He’s had an amazing second act, made that much more compelling by his first act, covering wars and revolutions in the Middle East, the taking of the American hostages in Iran in 1979 and surviving the assassination of Anwar Sadat…

Bill Raftery: Sending It In! 31:33

2M ago31:33

31:33

If we’re lucky, we find work that is our passion. In a sense, it doesn’t even feel like work. Long ago, Bill Raftery found that passion analyzing basketball games on TV. And we are the lucky ones. What we don’t see is the immense amount of preparation he puts into every game. What millions of us do see and hear and experience is the joy, the excite…

39:01

Growing up on Long Island, Bob Gruen’s parents wanted him to work 9-5. And for much of his life, he did. 9PM-5AM. He’s spent 60 years documenting rock ‘n roll through photographs. Bob wasn’t photographing the scene. He was part of the scene, earning the trust of musicians, hanging out with them, touring with them, befriending them and photographing…

Mike Richter: From Goaltending to Green Technology 42:00

3M ago42:00

42:00

Former athletes have all kinds of second careers once their playing days are over. There are lawyers and doctors, business people and broadcasters, lots and lots of broadcasters. But I know of no other former great athlete who has pursued the world of green technology. Mike Richter was always one of my favorite interviews during my sports reporting…

Kenny Vance: A Musical Lifer 37:40

4M ago37:40

37:40

I first met Kenny Vance at one of the hardest times in his life. It was a few months after Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and his house on the beach in the Rockaways of New York had been completely destroyed. And yet even that couldn’t dampen his sweet spirit, his good humor and the joy he has gotten out of a life in music. Kenny grew up in Brooklyn heari…

Sarah Jarosz: The Tradition Continues 37:07

4M ago37:07

37:07

There’s no need to categorize the music of Sarah Jarosz. OK, you can put it in one category: good. She has a contemporary sound and a sensibility that pays homage to the musical shoulders on which she stands. She is thoughtful in music and conversation, about the musically vibrant Texas small town of her youth, her time at the New England Conservat…

4M ago24:22

24:22

Talent will always win out. At least, I hope so. Talent and creativity and humor and perseverance. But all of us need a moment that opens the window to the rest of our lives. That window opened for Nick Hornby during a conversation with an agent that was not going particularly well. Nick decided “what the hell” at the end of the conversation and pi…

5M ago24:00

24:00

Nick Hornby has never written the phone book, to use an old expression. But if he did, I’d read it. Hornby is one of those writers who elicits unbridled enthusiasm from his unabashed admirers. Count me in, thanks to books like High Fidelity, Fever Pitch and About A Boy. He always had a love of reading and writing and music and sports. But turning i…

Darlene Love: Making A Joyful Sound 34:26

6M ago34:26

34:26

You don’t need to be a great musician like Steven Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen or Paul Shaffer to understand the greatness of Darlene Love. Perhaps they understand it on a more musical level, but anyone who has ever heard that amazing voice gets it. Her songs radiate joy, none more so than the classic of this season, “Christmas (Baby Please Come Ho…

Mike Massimino is smart. No surprise there. He’s a graduate of Columbia, MIT and the NASA space program. But he’s also incredibly thoughtful about the lessons while preparing for his two space shuttle flights, the time he spent in space and the clarity it gave him about life back on earth. And he’s downright funny when talking about one of the perk…

Asi Wind: The Magician’s Magician 42:20

7M ago42:20

42:20

At this profoundly dark time, a show of hope and wonder is taking place at a small and intimate theater in Greenwich Village. The show is called “Asi Wind’s Inner Circle.” If you love magic, you’ll love it. If you hate magic, you’ll love it. It is unlike any show I’ve ever seen, where the audience plays an integral role in the entire evening. It is…

Rob Simmelkjaer: The Long Run To A Dream Job 39:52

7M ago39:52

39:52

From the outside, it seems that it’s been a brilliant trajectory for Rob Simmelkjaer, from Ivy League college and law school to prestigious legal and media positions. But to steal a piece of wisdom from Rob himself, no one’s trajectory is a straight line. The path has now led him to his “dream job” as the CEO of New York Road Runners, a position th…

Garry Trudeau: The Doonesbury Chronicler 41:06

8M ago41:06

41:06

We all have books, music, movies, pieces of art that elate us in good times and sustain us in hard times. The 1975 book "The Doonesbury Chronicles" is at the top of the list for me. I frequently go back to it, rereading strips that I've read a hundred times. Garry Trudeau created Doonesbury, initially called Bull Tales, at Yale in the late 60's. Tr…

Stephen Dubner: A Man Of Endless Curiosity 40:44

8M ago40:44

40:44

It’s one thing to have a successful book, and Freaknomics, the 2005 book Stephen Dubner co-authored with economist Steven Levitt, is very successful, with million of copies sold and translated all over the world. But it’s rare that a successful book becomes a radio show, a podcast and a small cottage industry. And it’s even rarer that it becomes pa…

44:28

It’s not every standup comedian who has the London School of Economics on the resume. In fact, Hari Kondabolu may be the only standup who has the London School of Economics on his resume. It may not reflect how funny he is, but it shines a bit of a light on how thoughtful his work is. He is perhaps best known for creating the documentary “The Probl…

Dr. Irwin Redlener: Fighting The Good And Seemingly Endless Fight 43:58

9M ago43:58

43:58

A poster changed Dr. Irwin Redlener’s life. Sure, he likely would have been a doctor that put good into the world. But in the early 1970’s, a poster he saw asking young doctors to go to a poor, rural county in Arkansas lit a fire inside him and set him on a path with no looking back, working as a team with his wife Karen, a health professional with…

I had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing Clarence Jones for a NY1 profile in 2008. In 2013, it was an honor to share the stage at the 92nd St. Y and moderate a conversation with Clarence, Harry Belafonte and Julian Bond to commemorate 50 years since the 1963 March on Washington.

You don’t need to love opera to love Morris Robinson’s story, a former college football AllAmerica who has sung on the world’s great opera stages. Along the way, there was disappointment and the doubters and hard work. Lots and lots of hard work.
