All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 3, 2023

Shawn Levy joins us to discuss directing all four episodes of the new Netflix adaptation of Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, All The Light We Cannot See, which tells the story of a blind French girl and German soldier who come into contact during World War II. The series is available to stream now on Netflix.

The new film, "Beyond Utopia," follows a group of North Koreans attempting to escape their homeland. Documentarian Madeleine Gavin joins us to discuss the film, much of it shot by the subjects themselves. "Beyond Utopia" opens in theaters this weekend.

Next week, Symphony Space will present "Black Opry in Residence," a three-day series featuring musicians Chris Pierce, Kaia Kater, and Elizabeth Lubin. The shows are curated by the organization Black Opry, which promotes Black artists and fans within country and Americana music. Founder Holly G joins us to preview the series and share a playlist of musicians to check out.

Thousands of participants plan on running in the 2023 New York City Marathon this weekend but maybe you're one of the many people who have said "maybe I'll run next year." That's okay! Slow AF Run Club founder Martinus Evans' new book has tips for aspiring runners.
