Comedian Paula Poundstone is back on the road, with shows at Sacred Heart Community Theatre in Fairfield, CT on March 9, and Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ on March 10. She returns to the show to take listener calls and talk cats.
 
With the recent news that longtime New York Times film critic, A.O. Scott, is transferring to the New York Times Book Review, we invite him to look back on his career in movies. Scott will also take listener calls.
 
Cartoonist Barbara Brandon-Croft made history in 1991 as the first Black woman to have a nationally syndicated comic strip in the mainstream press. Her series, "Where I'm Coming From," ran through Universal Press Syndicate through 2005. Now, a retrospective of her work has been published by Drawn and Quarterly, titled, Where I'm Coming From. Brandon-Croft joins us to discuss her book, and her career.
 
Nitehawk Shorts Festival runs March 1-5, featuring dozens of shorts spread between seven categories. Director of programming Cristina Cacioppo joins us alongside filmmakers Leah Shore and Jude Dry to preview the festival.
