I recently had the opportunity to join Adrienne on her storytelling podcast. While I put finishing touches on this year's new episodes, check out this conversation:"Author, podcaster, & cheerful nihilist Blair Hopkins navigates grief recovery against the booze-fueled backdrop of Manhattan's East Village. Listen as she wrestles with such universal themes as artistic insecurity (aka The Fraud Complex), dissociation in times of crisis, & the importance of empathy & humor."

Rev. Jacqui Lewis, Ph.D. is Senior Minister of Middle Collegiate Church in Manhattan's East Village, a multiracial and inclusive congregation in the Reformed Church in America. Canon Broderick interviews Dr. Lewis regarding her presence in Charlottesville, VA earlier this year in the wake of the Unite the Right Rally last August and how people of faith in Denver can partner with people of goodwill everywhere to tackle evil in all its systemic forms.

We welcome Eric Rhein.  A presence in Manhattan's East Village since 1980, Rhein became a part of the neighborhood's arts community, with artists such as Greer Lankton, Luis Frangella, David Wojnarowicz, Keith Haring, Robert Mapplethorpe, Peter Hujar, and Mark Morrisroe. As the community permanently altered the city's cultural landscape, it was also profoundly devastated by HIV/AIDS. Through wire portraits, Rhein's ongoing work Leaves honors individuals he knew who died of complications from AIDS. Initially 80 portraits at its conception in 1996, Leaves has now grown to over 250 portraits—an evolving, personal memorial to the overwhelming losses due to the pandemic. Inspired by his uncle Elijah "Lige" Clarke (an early gay rights activist who, with his partner Jack Nichols, co-founded the first national gay weekly newspaper Gay, and the Washington Mattachine Society), Rhein relates to his art as a form of activism and healing. Rhein helped create Visual AIDS' Frank Moore Archive Project, an archive formed to support artists living with HIV/AIDS and preserve the works of those who passed away. View Rhein's page on Visual AIDS' Artist+ Registry here.

This coming Tuesday is All Saints Day. It’s a day on which the Roman Catholic Church celebrates and honors all the Christian faithful, both known and unknown. All Saints Day has inspired us to do a show with a Saints theme. This week we’ll meet a Staten Island priest with a massive collection of saint statues and pay a visit to St. Mark's Place in Manhattan's East Village to learn all about the street's storied past.
