T Bone Burnett, House Music History, Favorite Pens, Summer TV

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Aug 8, 2022

T Bone Burnett is a multi-Grammy-winning producer, songwriter, and guitarist. Though he's widely known for his role in the bluegrass boom of the 21st century, his work has also explored the avant garde. His new album, The Invisible Light: Spells, is the second in a trilogy, mixing both folk and electronic elements. He also recently launched a new recording technology, called Ionic Originals, described as a hybrid of vinyl and CD. Burnett joins us.

Beyoncé's latest album, Renaissance, and Drake's new album, Honestly, Nevermind, are both strongly influenced by 90s house music, foreshadowing a revival for the style. Music critic Craig Seymour explains the origins of house music and its influences on pop music as a genre.

Thank you notes, post cards, school assignments--a good pen can make all the difference. We talk to listeners about their favorite pens and get some recommendations from blogger and host of the podcast, The Pen Addict, Brad Dowdy.

Vulture television critic Kathryn VanArendonk joins for a Review/Preview of the hottest TV shows that have come out this summer, and some of the shows she's most looking forward to watching for the rest of the summer.
