Isabel Allende, Sarah Silverman, Ruta Sepetys on Writing Through Memory, The History of Dancehall in Brooklyn

For transcripts, see individual segment pages.

Celebrated Chilean author Isabel Allende joins us in studio to discuss her career and her latest novel, The Wind Knows My Name, which intertwines the stories of two displaced children, one fleeing Nazi-occupied Austria, and the other separated from her family at the United States border. 

Sarah Silverman's new comedy special, "Someone You Love," is her first in ten years. The special comes a year after the success of Silverman's off-Broadway musical, "The Bedwetter," inspired by her memoir. Silverman joins us to discuss the special, which is available on Max now.

Authors are always saying to "write what you know." But what's the best way to incorporate your life experience into your writing? Bestselling author Ruta Sepetys joins us to discuss her new book, You: The Story: A Writer's Guide to Craft Through Memory, and take calls from listeners about how to include their memories in their work.

As part as our "Tribeca-thon" spotlighting premieres at the Tribeca Festival, we speak to directors Ben DiGiacomo and Dutty Vannier about their documentary, "Bad Like Brooklyn Dancehall," which makes the connection between the emergence of dancehall in New York City and its Jamaican immigrant communities.
