Way before Michael McDonald was Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and Grammy Award–winning musician with The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, and as a solo artist, he was a high school dropout from Ferguson, Missouri who moved to California to pursue his dream. Now, McDonald has written a new memoir, What a Fool Believes, and he speaks to us about the book, his life, his music, and his struggles with addiction.
 
Last week, we asked you about your weekend plans, and we got some fantastic responses. So we're doing it again! So we're doing it again! Hear what's in store for this weekend from members of team All Of It, our WNYC colleagues, and other listeners.
 
Ani DiFranco has a very busy month. She's currently starring as Persephone in "Hadestown." Her new album, Unprecedented Sh!t, drops today, and later in June a new documentary about her life, "1-800-ON-HER-OWN," will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. DiFranco joins us to discuss all of her new projects.
 
We know that late summer is the prime season for having more tomatoes than we know what to do with from the garden. But now is a crucial time for planting and early growth. Joel Flagler, Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Bergen County, gives us tips on how to ensure our tomato plants thrive as the weather gets warmer and answers your questions.
