How to Get the Most Out of a Museum Trip; Full Bio: 'American Scoundrel,' Roy Cohn

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 27

Museums can be overwhelming, with so much art to see, and lots of crowds to navigate. Rawaan Alkhatib is an exhibit developer who has written a new book, Hello, Museum: An Illustrated Book of Inspirations to Visit and Explore, about how to get a more rewarding experience when you visit a Museum, no matter your knowledge of art history or your interest in art. Alkhatib discusses how she likes to visit museums, and listeners share their tips and questions.

Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Kai Bird has turned his attention to Roy Cohn, the infamous lawyer and fixer who has worked with people from Joseph McCarthy to President Trump. The new biography is titled American Scoundrel: Roy Cohn's Dark Journey from Joe McCarthy to Donald Trump. On today's installment of our "Full Bio" series, Bird discusses Cohn's childhood in the Bronx, and his rise under Senator Joseph McCarthy.
