This month, it was my pleasure to speak to music writer Jack Riedy (Pitchfork, GQ, VIBE) about his new book Electric Word Life: Writing on Prince 2016-2021. It was a really fun conversation, running through each of the pieces collected in his book and covering everything from Prince's influence on Chicago house to the degree to which the Batman album goes (spoiler: it's hard). The full episode will be out in a week--unless, of course, you're a patron, in which case you'll be able to hear it later today. In the meantime, you can check out this trailer--and consider buying Jack's book, which is available now! Also, my apologies to De Angela Duff, who totally became a patron between posts last month and was lost in the shuffle! De Angela, I appreciate you; this is your belated shout-out.
Last week, a new super-deluxe, 92 track box set edition of Prince's 1987 album Sign O' the Times was released, the second box set release since Prince died in 2016. De Angela Duff, Prince scholar and symposia curator joins us to discuss the release, the state of the estate and give the backstory on some of the previously unreleased songs.
King Rem is a musician, producer, emcee, and film composer in Brooklyn, New York. His works include Fly Technique Vol. 1 and Lightheaded with Mondo Slade, and film scores for Acquitted, Maximillian, and Project Die Happy. Rem was formerly the director of special projects at Harvard University Hip Hop Archive and Research Institute, and recently, he worked on the Prince symposium at New York University with De Angela Duff. In this conversation, Allen and Rem talk about his regimented approach to creativity, the social dynamics of the ensemble, and the process of composing for film. Rem recalls influential aspects of his childhood in terms of music, for instance, his mother buying a record player, and his grandmother being the organist at his church.

I first learned about Christian Howard via De Angela Duff, and while it may have taken a few years, I’m glad we finally had a chance to sit down for a conversation because I find his career path extremely fascinating.Christian is a narrative design strategist, and we discussed how he uses storytelling to help guide companies through times of huge transformations. We also talked about his time teaching at NYU, how he found his way into narrative strategy via game design, the difference between strategists and designers, and what he’s doing now to help build a more equitable future. For Christian, his myriad work and life experiences have led him to design, and I think his story is captivating and will inspire you to consider what paths you can take in the future with the skills you possess.
