'Apollo 10 1/2', the New York Hall Of Science, 50 Years Since Watergate, Full Bio, Previewing the Grammys

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 30, 2022

Writer and director Richard Linklater joins us to discuss his latest animated film, "Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood," a coming of age story combined with a fantastical tale of a child sent to space. The film premieres on Netflix on April 1.

After our conversation about Richard Linklater's new film about a kid astronaut, we'll talk about the educational (earthbound) hands-on exhibits at the New York Hall Of Science. NYSCI president and CEO Margaret Honey joins to talk about the museum's space exhibits, its 'Happiness Experiment' and how the museum has been re-building after a lot of damage from Hurricane Ida.

It has been 50 years since five men broke into the Watergate office complex and attempted to bug and burgle the Democratic National Committee Offices. Now, author Garrett M. Graff has published a comprehensive history of the scandal and subsequent fallout, titled, Watergate: A New History. Kirkus calls it, "The best and fullest account of the crisis, one unlikely to be surpassed anytime soon." Graff joins us to discuss, and to take calls from listeners with their comments and questions about Watergate fifty years later.

We air the third part of our March installment of Full Bio. Today, we learn more about Constance Baker Motley's legal career, as well as her entrance into politics, which would lead her to become a New York State Senator and Manhattan Borough President. Historian Tomiko Brown-Nagin, author of, Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality, joins us again.

We preview the contenders for awards at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony with Switched On Pop co-host Charlie Harding. Plus, we'll take your calls.
