Justice Ruth Bader Gingsburg, Obama’s Rabbi & Matisyahu? Yes

Well technically there is a fourth speaker in the Live from NY’s 92Y series at Adath Jeshurun this spring but the first speaker is so not of interest to me (Joseph E. Stiglitz) I just kind of glazed over him even though his appearance was last night. Oops. Anyway. The other three though I find [...]

Farmer’s Market & Bazaar: Burundi Culture Sunday

I’ve told you about the Sunday Farmer’s Market at JCFL before I just received an email telling me that this Sunday’s bazaar focuses on the culture of Burundi and that seems like something I should tell you about.

“Performers will [...]

Louisville Underground is a new podcast about “the Underground Culture of the River City.” Mostly it looks like that means underground bands. Though now that I think about it I’m not really sure what an underground band is but that’s probably because I’m old and boring. I’m thinking punk rock. Right?
If you’re younger and [...]
