It's National Park Week! As you think about summer travel, or even a quick weekend trip, we discuss some of the best parks to enjoy across the country with Lonely Planet executive editor Nitya Chambers and take listener calls.

Legendary singer Barry Manilow joins to speak about the upcoming one-night show at Carnegie Hall celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the New York Pops. Manilow will be honored by various artists including pop singers and Broadway balladeers.

MoMa PS1's largest exhibition this year is dedicated to the work of Puerto Rican artist Daniel Lind-Ramos, who was named as a MacArthur Genius in 2021. Lind-Ramos uses found objects he finds in and around his studio in Loíza to explore his Afro-Puerto Rican identity and other issues facing the island. Daniel Lind-Ramos: El Viejo Griot — Una historia de todos nosotros, presents ten of the artist's sculptures and two video works. Lind-Ramos and Ruba Katrib, PS1 director of curatorial affairs, join us to discuss the exhibition, which is on view until September 4.
