Bill sits down with Woody Allen for a wide-ranging conversation on comedy, film, and everything in between. They swap stories from the comedy-club era and dig into Woody's craft – his “do less” rule, why he hates rehearsal, and what it's like to direct once you've aged out of a role (including casting others to play the parts you once did). Woody weighs in on classic cinema (Streetcar devotion, Godfather II praise, Casablanca indifference), Bob Hope's lasting imprint, and therapy that “helped a little,” while Bill quizzes him on newer movies (yes, even Twilight). They cover aging, AI and immortality, the Knicks, and the contrast between Manhattan gloom and sunshine, with Woody teasing his new novel What's with Baum, out in September.

"My first memories of New Orleans were made fifty years ago during a family vacation to the city when I was seven years old. I remember a frenzied evening march down a crowded Bourbon Street holding onto my parent's hand for safety. In the cacophony emanating from the clubs and bars onto the street one sound stood out to me. It was the plunk of the traditional jazz banjo keeping the beat amongst the chaos.  "I chose to incorporate the sound of the jazz banjo into the New Orleans field recording to add rhythm to the commotion of voices and announcements in the streetcar. Along with adding some banjo strums, I sent the sound of the instrument through an envelope follower and used the generated control voltage to modulate the amplitude of the sound of the field recording to create another rhythmic track. The resultant work reimagines the city through the filter of my sonic memory." Streetcar in New Orleans reimagined by Pierrot Desperes.

Riding a classic New Orleans streetcar.  Recorded by Alex Clifford.

Most of us shy away from bugs, snakes, and all things creepy crawly. But for Tucson artist and zookeeper Courtney Christie, these misunderstood creatures are a source of wonder, inspiration, and beauty. In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, host Tom Heath sits down with Courtney to explore her unique journey.

From its beginnings in 1872 to the modern system, Booth has been archiving and cataloging information he finds on his new website, Portland Streetcar History. We hear from Booth to learn more on why he started this project and the importance street cars had in shaping the city. 

   The Music City Bowl is set to kickoff Monday and marks the final time Brady Cook is under center for the Missouri Tigers.  While trying to convince everyone how important it is for Mizzou to get back to back 10 win seasons, coach Eli Drinkwitz let out the truth.  It's glorious.    39th president Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100.  History will remember him well as a human being but if we're being fair, we should never forget how bad he was at his job.    All those empty streetcars sliding around KC actually charge big money to put your business logo on them, wait until you hear how much it costs according the the KC Biz Journal.    The Chiefs are computer faves to win the Super Bowl but that still makes them a longshot at this point.  I've got the percentage chance they pull off the three-peat.    Do you want Denver or Cincinnati in the playoffs?  What do you think Andy Reid thinks and what might he do to make sure the Bengals don't get in?     Drew Lock as a day for the ages in New York and Gracie Hunt has found her a man.

   There's never been a more Bill Self-like trademark win that KU's victory over Duke in Las Vegas Tuesday night.  They were tough and won with lockdown defense in the final 3:00 minutes.  Because, of course they did.  They have so much in common with the Chiefs in their ability to win games at the end.    Chiefs lineman Tershawn Wharton kept a falling kid from hitting the ground after the game at Carolina last week and his actions have gone viral.  Now he wants to do more for the little boy.    Public transportation in KCMO is a hot mess as "ambassadors" will now be packing heat in the street cars.  At the same time, www.tonyskansascity.com points out the free bus rides have caused crime and mayhem to thrive.    Was Kamala Harris drunk while making a video for her supporters this week?  It seriously looked like an internet AI fake but was real.  She needs to go away fast.     Joe Biden is trying to spend as much money as he can on his way out the door to create trouble for Trump... what a legacy to leave.     The new NIH Director is uncancelled, a former hockey player fights 6 drunk golfers at a restaurant in Scottsdale and Formula One racing makes an announcement that's really strange and vague.
