New Doc On Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel; Hot Pot Cooking At Home; How Prince Changed Music; Prince Collaborators Wendy & Lisa

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jan 27

Premiering today on Holocaust Remembrance Day, as part of PBS's American Masters series, the new documentary "Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire" captures the life of the human rights activist and Night author. Director Oren Rudavsky and Wiesel's son Elisha Wiesel, discuss the film, and the life of the influential survivor.

From the flavorful broths, to endless combinations of thinly sliced meats, vegetables, and noodles, hot pot has something for everyone. And it doesn't always have to mean dining out. You can host a hot pot party at home! James Beard-award winning chef Natasha Pickowicz takes us into the world of hot pot in her new book, Everyone Hot Pot: Creating the Ultimate Meal for Gathering and Feasting, and listeners share their favorite hot pot combinations.

The trailblazing musician Prince died 10 years ago this coming April. On the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 27, The Schomburg Center in Harlem will be screening the iconic concert film "Prince and the Revolution Live," along with a talkback event to follow with an ethnomusicologist, a curator from the Schomburg, and NYU's De Angela Duff, who previews the event on the air, discusses Prince's artistry, and takes calls from listeners sharing their favorite memories of the music.

[REBROADCAST FROM March 7, 2025] Before the 1985 Grammy Awards, no women had ever been nominated for Producer of the Year. Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman became the first as part of Prince and the Revolution, though still no woman has ever won the award. Wendy & Lisa discuss their career as part of our series 'Equalizers: Women in Music Production.' We also get a special visit from Susan Rogers, a veteran audio engineer who worked for years with Prince and on a number of Wendy & Lisa's albums.
