A TikTok Strike, 'Edith!,' Plant-Based Recipes, Lynn Hershman Leeson at the New Museum

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 13, 2021

After watching their work catapult non-Black influencers to virality, notably Addison Rae's appearance on Jimmy Fallon, Black creators have decided to abstain from creating dances for new music. And it's having an impact: the new Megan Thee Stallion track, "THOT S---," around which strikers have rallied, has garnered just 165,000 videos since it dropped last month, compared to the millions that her past releases have spawned. CBC technology journalist Takara Small joins to discuss how TikTok's algorithm and "borrow culture" have rewarded white influencers who perform dances choreographed by uncredited Black creators.

WNYC planning editor Kate Hinds joins us to discuss the stories the newsroom is following this week.

A new fictional podcast from Crooked Media and QCode stars Rosamund Pike as First Lady Edith Wilson, taking a humorous look at Wilson’s influence in the White House after her husband suffered a massive stroke. Director Maureen Bharoocha and writer Gonzalo Cordova join us to discuss the podcast, Edith! which premiered on June 21. New episodes drop on Thursdays.

Samah Dada, recipe developer and founder of the blog Dada Eats, joins us to discuss her new cookbook Dada Eats Love to Cook It: 100 Plant-Based Recipes for Everyone at Your Table. The book features recipes for over 100 meals and treats with "an accidentally plant-based energy" as well as new takes on dishes inspired by her Indian heritage.

The artist Lynn Hershman Leeson joins us to discuss her first solo museum exhibition in New York in her 50-year career: Lynn Hershman Leeson: Twisted. The show is up at the New Museum from June 30 through October 3.
