Welcome to Bughouse Square with Eve Ewing, presented by The Studs Terkel Radio Archive and the WFMT Radio Network. Episode 1 arrives Friday, October 5th.

Who will sing the roles, design the productions and tell the stories in opera in the 21st century? Paige and Tazewell crack open a ‘behind the scenes’ view of the opera business to explore who decides what we see and hear on stage. They describe the experience of being artists of color writing, composing, directing and performing on Glimmerglass stages.**** Featuring: **Francesca Zambello, General & Artistic Director of The Glimmerglass Festival **Christopher Powell, Director of Artistic Initiatives of The Glimmerglass Festival Naomi Andre, Associate Professor in Women’s Studies, Afroamerican and African Studies and the Residential College at University of Michigan **Helena Brown, soprano opera singer Find Us Online: Website: https://glimmerglass.org/breaking-glass/ Twitter: @GOpera Paige Hernandez: @PaigeInFull, http://paigehernandez.com/ Tazewell Thompson: http://tazewellthompson.com/ Francesca Zambello: http://www.francescazambello.com/ Naomi Andre: https://irwg.umich.edu/people/naomi-andre Helena Brown: https://www.helena-brown.com/ About Us: Breaking Glass is produced by Stacia Brown and edited by Ali Post of Rise of Charm City LLC.

Once upon a time in America, the opera, like most things, wasn’t for everyone. But in the 21st century, some new shows are pushing the form forward to resonate more widely and deeply. Can opera rise out of its origins and touch communities of color with complex histories and relationships to those not of color? Host Paige Hernandez and contributor Tazewell Thompson tell their stories of encountering opera for the first time and their reflections on being recent first-time librettists.

Tony Macaluso, Director of the WFMT Radio Network and Director of the Studs Terkel Radio Archive, joined the conversation to talk about the May 2018 launch and the work that has been done to make over 5,600 programs available online for future generations of scholars, journalists, and the general public. This program includes clips from a 1960 interview with Studs Terkel and Buster Keaton. Season 3 Episode 6  Originally Posted May 7, 2018

Podcast and live radio collide in an evening of music inspired by fractals, dynamic systems, feedback loops and nature. Open G Records and Access Contemporary Music present: Caroline Mallonee‘s Butterfly Effect, a string quartet inspired by the idea that a butterfly flapping its wings in Australia could cause a tornado in Texas, Chin Ting Chan's gorgeously abrasive Fractals, Lyudmila German's nod to organic systems Six Fragments and Four Miniatures, David Glaser's haunting Moonset No. 1 and two world premieres written for acclaimed soprano Sharon Harms and clarinetist Mark Dover of Imani Winds. Late Night at National Sawdust is a quarterly live taping of Relevant Tones, a contemporary music podcast hosted by Seth Boustead that will also be broadcast in real time on the nationally syndicated WFMT Radio Network and on WKCR in New York. Live radio has never been so intimate. The broadcast will be preceded by the Discovery Series, a process-oriented exploration of musical creativity led by composer/pianist Jeremy Gill. The three composers to be performed, chosen from a pool of more than five hundred, are Henrique Coe, Adina Dumitrescu and Ryan Homsey.

When Zero Mostel was under trial by the House UnAmerican Activities Committee in 1955, the committee asked what he was doing at an anti-HUAC meeting. Mostel replied: "What if I did an imitation of a butterfly at rest? There is no crime in making anybody laugh." In this Popcast, hear about Mostel's dedication to the absurd. He exposed real life absurd situations of the McCarthy era by talking back, and brought out the human truth to absurd characters like Eugene Ionesco's "Rhinoceros" on stage. This episode was produced by Samara Breger with archival audio from the Studs Terkel Radio Archive from the WFMT Radio Network in Chicago. (Visit them at www.studsterkel.org.)

When Maurice Sendak’s now classic children’s book In the Night Kitchen was released in 1970, it caused a scandal. Its protagonist, a young boy, is bare naked throughout the book, amidst a landscape phallic milk bottles and free-flowing liquids. Parents cried pornography. Armchair psychologists jumped to analyze its Freudian subtext. But the kids? They just laughed. In this Popcast, we play you excerpts from Sendak's 1970 conversation with legendary interviewer Studs Terkel. Sendak balks at the idea of writing down to kids. In fact, Sendak thinks it's the kids who have “crap detectors” that allow them to tap into the real spirit of his books. Together, Sendak and Studs consider that it's the adults who can’t understand children’s literature, and not the other way around.
