Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Bookwaves Kazuo Ishiguro, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky, recorded October 6, 2000 while he was on tour for his novel “When We Were Orphans.” The winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature, Sir Kazuo Ishiguro is recognized today as one of the world's leading authors. Nominated four times, he won the Booker Prize in 1989 for The Remains of the Day, and was most recently nominated for an Academy Award for his screenplay for the 2022 film “Living.” In this interview, he discusses his most recent book at that time, When We Were Orphans, and talks about how he became a writer and the relationship of his Japanese heritage to his life in Great Britain, where he's lived since he was six years old. His most recent novel, a parable, is titled Klara and the Sun, and was published in 2021. This interview was digitized, remastered and edited in November 2023 and has never been heard in its entirety. Along with Living, which can be seen on Netflix, Kazuo Ishiguro has written screenplays for The Saddest Music in the World, now on AMC plus. An Adaptation of Never Let Me Go can be found on Starz, and one of An Artist of the Floating World is on Amazon Prime. Both The White Countess, for which he wrote the screenplay, and his adaptation of the Remains of the Day can be rented on various apps. Complete 43-minute interview.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Bookwaves Heather Cox Richardson discusses her latest book, “Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America,” with host Richard Wolinsky, recorded in Oakland October 4, 2023. A Professor of History at Boston College, Heather Cox Richardson began four years ago a daily newsletter on Facebook, “Letters from an American.” Today, that newsletter has become a must-read for anyone interested in how current history relates to the historical record. She is the author of “How the South Won the Civil War” and several other books, with her specialty being the history of the Republican Party in the 19th Century. “Democracy Awakening” is a look at how America's politics changed into the current crisis in democracy, what that crisis looks like, and using history as a guide, helps us understand where to go in the future. In this interview, Prof. Richardson discusses much of this, with side-journeys into the 19th Century and some current issues. Podcast version. Photos: Richard Wolinsky.

Artwaves Errol Morris, documentary film maker and author of “The Ashtray (Or the Man Who Denied Reality)” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. Noted film maker Errol Morris was in graduate school in philosophy when he argued with his professor, Thomas Kuhn. Kuhn threw an ashtray at Morris and had him kicked out of school. The argument was about truth. Kuhn said it was relative; Morris said it was real. All of Errol Morris's work as a director and documentary artist focuses on truth, whether it be “The Fog of War” and Robert McNamara, or “The Thin Blue Line,” or even his latest project, the Netflix series “Wormwood.” In this interview, he talks about his feelings regarding Kuhn, the nature of truth and its relationship to the current Washington regime, the origins of “The Thin Blue Line' and other matters.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Artwaves Giovanna Sardelli, Artistic Director of TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. Before becoming Artistic Director in July 2023, Giovanna Sardelli served as Artistic Director of TheatreWorks New Works since 2014. A noted stage director, she has worked closely with Tony winner Matthew Lopez and Pulitzer finalist Rajiv Joseph, among others, and has directed at several regional and New York theaters, along with several productions at TheatreWorks. Before joining TheatreWorks she served on the faculty at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and before that had an acting career. In this conversation, she discusses TheatreWorks' current financial challenges, along with a look at the upcoming season. Complete 33-minute interview. Artwaves Photo: Richard Wolinsky Stephen Sondheim (1930 – November 26, 2021) in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in New York, November 24, 2011. Stephen Sondheim died at the age of 91 on November 26, 2021. A titan of American musical theater whose work both transcended and changed the genre itself, Sondheim was responsible for the lyrics for Gypsy and West Side Story — and his own shows, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, all became classics in the field. His lyrics were clever and deep – whether it be the torch song “Losing My Mind” from Follies, the history lesson, “Someone in a Tree” from Pacific Overtures, the gorgeous “Sunday” from Sunday in the Park, “Not While I'm Around” from Sweeney Todd, “Not a Day Goes By” from Merrily We Roll Along, “Send in the Clowns”… the list goes on. In this interview recorded in November 2011 at his townhouse in New York City for “Look! I Made a Hat!”, the second volume of his collection of essays and song lyrics, he discusses his later works and his career with host Richard Wolinsky.

In a week where many people have voting on their minds, Elizabeth Dunn of the Commonweal Theatre in Lanesboro, Minn., wants to draw attention to the show “Votes for Women! MN Rally 1920.” One hundred years after the adoption of the 19th Amendment, the show features five Minnesota suffragists, Scandinavian immigrants and an African American woman, who fought hard for women’s right to vote. The show was produced by History Alive Lanesboro. A planned statewide tour was canceled due to COVID-19, but there are free in-person and digital viewing options at the Landmark Center in St. Paul through Nov. 15. Want more? Learn about the many women who fought for the right to vote at the Minnesota History Center here. 100 years of women voting 3 Minnesota women who paved way for women's suffrage St. Paul music writer Youa Vang has a recommendation for ghostly theater. An enthusiast for spooky stories and haunted homes, Vang recommends the new audio play “The House at Echo’s End.” The show follows city-dweller Allison, who inherits the rural farm where she grew up, only to discover that the house is inhabited by three ghosts who want their stories told. The 36-minute audio play streams for free on the Everwood Farmstead podcast “Conversations from the Barn.” The show’s original music and lyrics were written by Cat Brindisi-Darrow; the book was written by her husband, David Darrow; the show was conceived by them and Derek Prestly. The show was voiced by Minnesota actors Serena Brook of “Live from Here” and Cat’s mother, Michelle Brindisi of Chanhassen Dinner Theatres. Photo by David Sherman Acrylic on Rives BFK paper by Anne Labovitz. Visual artist Carolyn Brunelle recently saw Anne Labovitz’s show titled “Response” at the Burnet Fine Arts Gallery in Wayzata. Brunelle appreciated the energy of the artwork, on display through Nov. 28. “This exhibit of abstract paintings are wildly colorful and exciting,” Brunelle said. “‘Response’ investigates the intimacy of color and space,” Labovitz said in a statement on Burnet’s website. “For me, color is a personal reflection, a language that crosses boundaries and can connect us. I believe color is a life force. These works are about hope for the future; for a connection between people as we struggle through current complexities." Labovitz will be in the gallery to greet visitors on Nov. 21. “She’s really committed to public art work,” Brunelle said, noting an installation at Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport,“122 Conversations: Person to Person, Art Beyond Borders”. It’s a series of large, brightly colored paintings on different materials displayed in Terminal 2. The work arose from conversations with 10 people from each of the city of Duluth’s five sister cities around the world.

Episode 24 was my last recording at the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio as the studio had to shut down as a precaution over the Covid-19 pandemic that we are all facing (this was before NY state issued the statewide lockdown). I'll be putting out episodes, don't worry friends. Please be safe and avoid any careless behavior in these trying times.Special thanks to Lorena Ramos. The wonderful actress who blessed us with her presence and experience in the studio. It's not been a comfortable journey despite starting in what's considered a privileged background. Lorena would, at one stage, have to choose between pursuing her career and service to her God. We shall see the importance of having the right spiritual guide, frustrations with the entertainment industry, and how double standards cut across sectors. Luckily, Lorena hooks us up with excellent spots for food in both New York and Mexico City, along with other great experiences in her life. Lorena is also part of Something From Abroad. A production house put together by immigrant women. I'll be checking out a play or two of theirs in the futurehttps://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Something-from-Abroad-Productions-Presents-ABROAD--A-Night-of-Short-Plays-20180814

Theater of the Absurd meets Swedish pop sensation ABBA: Be prepared to laugh as murder, mayhem, and infinite innuendo ensue in 27 Short Plays About Being Murdered in a Hotel by ABBA, opening May10 at Rolling Bay Hall. Written by William Razavi and staged by The Lesser Known Players, ABBA is filled with sly cinematic references, offbeat humor, and just a trace of existential angst. In it a zany cast of characters, including a mad scientist, a motivational speaker, an itinerant citrus salesman, an illusionist, two British blue-bloods and a young samurai warrior meet their fates in an alchemy of the absurd that combines philosophy, literature, weaponry, and music into a whole new level of thought-provoking fun. Featuring a suitably dark, ABBA-inspired original score by Seattle composer Jon Brenner. Join Host Justin Wayne Lynn as he chats with the ABBA cast and crew in search of answers to questions like “is this a true story?” and “what DOES happen when a Swede finds a Katana?” 27 Short Plays About Being Murdered in a Hotel by ABBA opens at Rolling Bay Hall May 10th and runs through the 19th with shows Friday and Saturday at 7:30, Sunday matinees at 2:30, and a pay-what-you-can preview on Thursday, May 9. The playwright will be on hand to answer questions after the show May 10, 11 and 12. For tickets and information visit http://www.lesserknownplayers.org/.
