For transcripts, see individual segment pages.

As the temperature rises and the sun continues to shine, a lot of people are carving out time for the beach. T. Espinoza, the Style Medic, joins us to discuss beach hacks and etiquette to make your trip a success. We also take your calls.

A photography exhibition showcases beachgoers along a fifteen block stretch of Rockaway Beach, Queens. Photographer Susannah Ray joins us to talk about her solo show, Down For the Day (2016-present), which is on display at Baxter St at Camera Club of NY through August 26.

Swedish electro-pop quartet Little Dragon is back with their latest album, Slugs of Love. The childhood best friends from Gothenburg join us to discuss the album and perform a live set at our studio. They're currently on their world tour, with a stop tonight at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn.

To mark France's "Fete Nationale," also known as Bastille Day, we speak with Tatyana Franck, president of the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), along with FIAF's director of development Catherine Bauman, about the group's annual Bastille Day Celebration on Madison Avenue this Sunday.

This Bastille Day, the spirit of unrest that underlies the holiday is particularly resonant, as many French people have taken to the streets over the past few weeks after the police killing of a 17-year old citizen of North African descent. Catherine Porter, international correspondent for the New York Times based in Paris, explains the inciting incident as well as the protests, and the domestic politics at play in France today.
