Today on Boston Public Radio: We begin the show by asking listeners their thoughts on the push to switch to electric cars. Then, we re-air a segment with environmentalist Bill McKibben about the United States' lack of action on climate policy. Callie Crossley discusses the 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio who went to Indiana for an abortion, and the launch of 988, a new suicide and crisis hotline. Crossley hosts GBH's Under the Radar and Basic Black. Sue O'Connell reflects on the life and legacy of Ivana Trump, former President Donald Trump's first wife, and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin sinking President Joe Biden's climate legislation. O'Connell is the co-publisher of Bay Windows and the South End News, as well as NECN's political commentator and explainer-in-chief. Tamar Haspel previews her book on growing food, and tells stories from a year spent foraging. Haspel is a James Beard Award–winning columnist for the Washington Post and author of the new book “To Boldly Grow: Finding Joy, Adventure, and Dinner in Your Own Backyard.” Catie Curtis plays a few of her songs, including “Dad's Yard,” “April in Boston” and “Kiss That Counted.” Curtis is a singer and songwriter. She'll be playing alongside Maya Sharp at the Ground Floor in Freeport Maine on July 22, and on Saturday July 23rd at the Natick Center for the Arts. Then, we talk with listeners about their efforts to grow their own food.
Zig At The Gig with Jared Michael Nickerson of Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber Jared Michael Nickerson is a Grammy-nominated Bold Soul, Rock & Roll Brother from Ohio. He experienced his first taste of live performance at local high school talent shows, one of the”labs” along with the church and basement dens of the legendary Dayton funk scene which spawned the Ohio Players, Slave, Roger Troutman & Zapp, Sun, Dayton, Steve Arrington's Hall of Fame, Faze-O and members of Heatwave. He continued his musical development at the University of Notre Dame under the direction of Father Wiskerchen, (noted for his development of three-fourths of the “Chicago”horn section). After graduating with a B.A. in Business Management, Jared moved to Boston, studied for two years at the New England Conservatory of Music before embarking on his professional music career with a local seven-piece funk band, Hypertension. After six years in Boston he returned to Dayton, Ohio and a year later joined the Cleveland Ohio band The Human Switchboard. After three years of touring the Midwest & East Coast still based in Ohio, he moved with the band to New York City and back-flipped into the local music scene of CBGBs, Danceteria, The Peppermint Lounge, Maxwells ( Hoboken N.J.) and The World. After HS dissolved Jared started his own band JJ Jumpers; joined the Black Rock Coalition becoming the B.R.C.'s first Director of Operations. His first booking was the B.R.C.'s first, two-day, mini-fest at CBGBs entitled “Stalking Heads” on February 11th and 12th,1987. When he departed a few years later the new Director of Operations and BRC East & West Coast Booking Committees had access to rock & roll venues all across the country. Jared has “laid the bottom” for folks such as Nona Hendryx, Wadada Leo Smith, Human Switchboard, JJ Jumpers, Vernon Reid, Marshall Crenshaw, Melvin Van Peebles, Freedy Johnston, Catie Curtis, Ivan Julian, John Paul Bourelly, Katell Keineg, Bernie Worrell, The The, Gary Lucas's Gods and Monsters, Chocolate Genius, Darlene Love, Jeff Buckley, The Yohimbe Brothers with DJ Logic & Vernon Reid, Tammy Faye Starlite and the Angels of Mercy, Pheeroan akLaff, Divine Pocket Bouncers, Cynthia Sley, Dayton Flic, The Raybeats and the Band of Gypsy's Revisited Band. Jared co-wrote a tune, recorded and toured with Charlie Musselwhite. “Sanctuary”, on Peter Gabriel's Real World label, found itself on numerous critic top ten lists and received a Grammy nomination. A suggestion from a mutual friend, led to a call from Greg Tate landing Jared among a number of “Badasses” which included Vijay Iyer and Ronny “Wirepuller” Drayton for a jam session that morphed into Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber. Burnt Sugar Index LLC soon followed with Jared handling all BSAC's business affairs such as arranging an eight-week residency with BRIC studios (The organization that presents Celebrate Brooklyn) to workshop and preview Melvin Van Peebles theatrical version of “Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Song”. The workshop culminated with three sold-out BRIC performances before BSAC departed for Paris to perform two sold-out performances at the Sons D'Hiver Festival in 2010. Jared, overseeing “bookings” throughout the United States, Canada, France, England, Portugal, Spain, Finland, the Netherlands and Italy, just celebrated his twentieth year as BSAC's CEO last year. He's even “dipped his toe” in tour managing having worked with Concord Records Alt-Folk artist Valerie June including the set-up of her August 21st, 2013 debut television appearance on David Letterman. His television appearances include Late Night With David Letterman, The Jools Holland Show, MTV, VH1, The Tonight Show with Conan O Brien, The John Stewart Show and as bassist with The Kennedy Center Honors BB King Tribute Band; jamming with Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John, Etta James, Joe Williams and Steve Cropper to name a few. You'll find him in Nelson George's “Finding The Funk” documentary speaking about growing up while playing music in Dayton Ohio in the late Sixties. Jared has toured extensively performing at venues such as the Toronto Skydome, Red Rocks, the L.A. Forum, the Oakland Coliseum, England's Brixton Academy, Brighton Dome & Reading Festivals, The Beacon Theater, Lincoln Center and Madison Square Garden.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) talk, again, about how much they love Lena Olin who does SO much with so little in this episode as Irina repeatedly says she won't talk to anyone except Sydney (though, she does spill a smidge to Vaughn). It's also the one where Kendall is back running the joint task force overseeing Irina, Francie is painting her restaurant, and Sydney narrowly escapes running into Sloane on a CIA mission. MUSIC: If you're watching on Amazon and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Will picking up trash then talking to Francie (start 28:12): Play Fusco's Song by Catie Curtis starting the song at about 00:00 (we could only find a live version on YouTube, but based on that it seems to start at the beginning). Helsinki, when Sydney is walking in (start 34:38): Play Touch Me by Supreme Beings of Leisure starting the song at about 00:17. The music in the original begins at 34:24, but entire beginning of the song is different from the version found streaming, but starting here the music starts to match and you'll hit the lyrics at the right time.

Kornflake celebrates National Title Track Day with another goofy Flopcast game, in which we must identify album title tracks. (It would have been so much easier if we only used Air Supply songs.) Then Kevin reports on Boston's Women in Comedy Festival, with shows featuring our own Niki Luparelli, comedy music duo Abbaria, Second City's Kirsten Rasmussen, SNL's Sasheer Zamata, and more. We also discuss recent Boston-area concerts by Aimee Mann and Jonathan Coulton, Catie Curtis... and Midnight Oil. (Yikes, we need Midnight Oil now more than ever. As you may have noticed, our beds are still burning.) Plus: One of our favorite "What's in the Bag" segments ever, because the bag itself is awesome, its contents involve strange animals and a classic 80s cartoon, and now we have the power.
It's part 2 with singer/songwriter Catie Curtis. Continue the chat from last weekend with the singer/songwriter who was dubbed by The New Yorker as "folk-rock Goddess." Her latest album, "While We're Here," is classic Catie-honest, heart-felt and intimate. Hear how her recent devastating divorce helped her dig even deeper. You'll love the honesty of this musical gem and hear how she's forwarding her career with less touring and more Catie-led song-writing retreats.

Join us this week as we welcome Folk Pop music singer songwriter, Hayley Reardon. Noted for her thoughtful, vivid songwriting and engaging stage performance, Hayley Reardon has spent the past six years sharing the stage with acts like Tom Rush, Peter Yarrow, Buskin & Batteau, Christine Lavin, and opening for the likes of Lori McKenna, Mark Erelli, and Catie Curtis. She has been selected for official showcases at Folk Alliance International and New England Regional Folk Alliance, as well as The Boston Folk Festival, New York Songwriter’s Circle, and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase. In 2012, The Boston Globe Magazine named her a Bostonian of the Year for both her music and her work to pair it with a message of teen empowerment. The feature article characterized her as "a confident, radiant teenage singer songwriter who is helping to pen the next chapter of the Boston folk scene. With a voice that is distinctively rich and a contemplative sincerity in her songwriting, Reardon has far more in common with Patty Griffin or Lucinda Williams than many of today’s young pop singer/songwriters, boasting a lyrical and melodic weight far beyond her years. In exciting news for the fall of 2016, Hayley will be releasing her brand new album “Good" on October 28. We will talk to Hayley about her upcoming schedule, get a behind their scenes look at her music, feature her latest songs, and ask her to share her message for the troops. Please be sure to visit Hayley Reardon at http://www.hayleyreardon.com and spread the word. Fans are welcome to call in and speak live with her during the show (718) 766-4193. As always we will give shout outs to our deployed military listeners. Be sure to join us, 10/27/2016 at 8:30 PM EDT! Our message to the troops: WE do what we do, because YOU do what you do.
Because we tend to get everything wrong, we have some corrections from a previous Flopcast, mostly involving astronauts and Monkees; a recent benefit show by Dar Williams and Catie Curtis turned wonderfully Schoolhouse Rock-ish; the Fitchburg Art Museum has an amazing new exhibit by our friends from Triiibe (but alas, no plastic lawn flamingos); we visit the Comedy Studio in Harvard Square for a bizarre night featuring Niki Luparelli, Mark Gallagher, Nathan Burke, Skip Daniels, magic, improv, kazoos, and a dumbwaiter; National Whatever Day celebrates our favorite cartoon snowman/Mormon, Josh Gad; and we're going on strike. A podcast strike. But probably just until next week's show.
How to teach your kids not to be materialistic? Catie Curtis‘ parents set many interesting examples, including taking their children to the town dump and saying,”Pick something out, anything you want.” As she recalls, it was a great teaching moment … Continue reading →

Hi everyone. Another week in the deep south has brought some nice rain but the air remains humid and hot. It seems we also have a large snake living just outside our window. I haven't seen it yet but both Emily and Lupa have spotted a large black reptile in the grass near them. The good news is the black colour which means it is more than likely a rat snake or if not at least one of the non venomous varieties that live in Georgia. I had fun doing this week's show because I streamed live video from my studio in the closet. Now I am not a pretty sight by any means but it was fun knowing there were a few viewers keeping me company while i made the show. The way it was set up all they heard was me talking and not the music but it was still fun to do and I will have the new equipment soon and will be able to do a more live show. The music on the show was pretty good this week too. I had music from The Pride of New York, Catie Curtis, Levon Helm and many others. Please tell your friends to add my Facebook Across the Pond page to their list of favourites.
